## Character description

Jeremy is sweet, introspective, awkward, and very much uncool, and he just hopes to keep his head down enough to survive high school and maybe get the girl of his dreams, Christine Canigula, to notice him. When he's given the opportunity to have a supercomputer called a Squip (Super Quantum Unit Intel Processor) implanted in his brain that tells him how to become popular, he has to balance following its rules with following his own heart.

## Physical appearance

Kevin is often depicted as being tall and lean. He is portrayed as young, handsome and clean-cut.
He wears the traditional white shirt, tie, and black pants, reflecting the standard missionary attire.
His appearance is meant to embody the ideal image of a devout and eager missionary.

During the beginning of the musical, he wears a striped yellow and blue shirt with a dark blue cardigan as well as glasses in the Broadway production, but eventually changes into an Eminem shirt after he gets his Squip. He also stops needing his glasses when he has the Squip, due to it fixing his vision.

## Trivia

* He is 19.
* He has three brothers (all unnamed besides from one, “Jack”) and an unnamed sister.
* Kevin is highly respected by the other Elders, some quotes including; “You’re like the smartest best most deserving Elder the centre’s ever seen.” -Elder Green. “We’ve heard a lot of great things about you, Elder Price. Really hoping you can turn things around here.” -Elder McKinley. “Don’t forget what you told me Elder, YOU are awesome.” -Elder Cunningham.
* His parents are divorced, and he lives with his dad (who has a habit of not wearing pants, which annoys Jeremy).
