Jonas

"Hehe... But it is knowable. Knowable to ME! And why, you ask? Because I... am JONAS!"

A strange middle-aged man who wears outdated clothing from a bygone era. Often spouting aphorisms of varying levels of coherence, his usually nonsensical comments and behavior tend to vex the rest of the crew.

Jonas is an interesting character. His abilities are overall very high, making him theoretically a force to be reckoned with. However, it seems everyone's default Trust, Amicability, and/or Hate values are set in such a way that no one particularly likes him. On a Day 1 where not much happens aside from claiming roles it's likely that he'll just get voted into cold sleep by default from no one having any better ideas. However, if he makes it past that first day his abilities become quite apparent.

Jonas' best ability is his Performance; he has the highest Performance in the game after Yuriko. This stems not necessarily from a proficiency at lying, but rather his personality and speech patterns being so bizarre that it's hard to tell what the hell he's going on about even in the best of times. This is a huge boon to him, as it not only lets him lie proficiently but means he's good at tearing down the Amicability of particularly likeable characters. His good Logic lets him damage Trust as well, his Stealth helps keep everyone from hating him too much to dismiss him, and his Charisma lets him convince many others to follow his lead. Despite being generally unliked and not seeming very trustworthy, Jonas is capable of dramatically shifting the course of the debate.

However, Jonas does have his weaknesses. His Charm is very low, and this is the key to getting rid of him. Offensively he's great, but he struggles to defend himself from the attacks of others. To combat this he often makes use of Small Talk and Obfuscate to throw attackers off, but this can't work forever. His poor likeability also means that if you see people rush to his defense it's reason to be suspicious. Finally, his Intuition is only okay, meaning that if he's human and you're an antagonistic role he might not catch you lying to his face.

If you're playing as the Gnosia and Jonas is a human, it's a good idea to encourage his elimination on Day 1. Given his low initial standing, one shred of doubt is all anyone needs to shrug and go "sure, might as well" and vote him off. If you're both Gnosia, you've got a strong ally around. He'll often fake claim roles, but thanks to his high Performance he has little trouble maintaining it unless his reports end up showing a logical inconsistency.

Overall, while Jonas is no Yuriko he's still highly capable. He's held back by his unpopularity and chaotic habits, but it would be a mistake to let him slip past you just because his goofy personality begs to be underestimated.
