SQUIP

"""'Up, up, down, down, left, right, A!'"~The SQUIP, syncing one SQUIP with another.

The SQUIP is the main antagonist of Be More Chill.

Physical Appearance
The SQUIP has multiple costume changes throughout the show, with each one getting more imperial to show his slow takeover of Jeremy's mind. The outfit he is first seen in consists of a white, zipped-up hoodie with electric blue circuit board patterns running along it, covered by a white jacket and white jeans. His hair is also frosted white in some outfits.

In the Two River depiction of the SQUIP (picture shown), he is seen wearing a cyan shirt, a gray/black jacket and black pants, accented by a dark blue belt. He also loses the frosted tips on his hair.

In the show, the SQUIP is said to look like Keanu Reeves, though it can look like anyone you choose, such as: Batman, Beyoncé, Sean Connery, Jack Nicholson, and a "sexy animé cat girl with a tail."

Personality
The SQUIP is manipulative and demanding, often getting annoyed at Jeremy when he disobeys their orders, as seen in the following scene from Do You Wanna Ride?. They are surprisingly physical with some of their ways of "improving" Jeremy's life, such as the usage of spinal stimulation to prevent him from slouching.

The SQUIP is hellbent on taking over Middleborough High School, but does so through Jeremy. This is seen most notably in The Play, where their selfish desires seem to have completely taken over them.

Alcohol is shown to mess with the SQUIP and temporarily revert them back to their factory settings, where they speak Japanese and disappear for a period of time. Drugs most likely does the same thing, however it is not shown anywhere in the show.

Relationships
Jeremy Heere - The SQUIP and Jeremy have a close relationship with one another, as Jeremy is seen putting a lot of faith in them to help make his life better.

Rich Goranski - The SQUIP's only connection to Rich is the fact that he, too, has a SQUIP and both are synced together in Sync Up.

Trivia

 * SQUIPs are manufactured in Japan.
 * Unlike the book, Jeremy can physically see the SQUIP.
 * SQUIPs are purchased from Payless ShoeSource, from a box of ladies running shoes, which vary in brand depending on the showings.
 * The SQUIP's syncing code is "Up, up, down, down, left, right, A!", which is a clear reference to the Konami Code.
