In Character Information
Name: Jonathan
Series: Shin Megami Tensei IV
Canon Standing: After Walter switches on the Yamato Perpetual Reactor
Age: 18
Birthday & Astrology Sign: April 29, Taurus. Yeah, I made that one up.
Arcana: Star
Personality:
Jonathan is polite. That’s the first noticeable thing about him. He says it’s because of his good upbringing, and that it’s nothing, only what’s expected, right? Incredibly nice, incredibly kind- bland, unspecific words that form the first layer. After a while of knowing him, he’s also a bit too nice. He’s that one guy in class who reminds the teacher when they forget to collect homework, and whenever anyone gives him a glare in the face for it, he very clearly and adamantly declares “Hiding truths for your own benefit is morally wrong.” He could easily be dismissed as a teacher’s pet, or society’s lapdog, bowing down to the higher authorities and giving every politically correct answer.
Well, to a certain extent, that could be true. Jonathan is the game’s Law Hero- long story short, the Law Hero is peaceful. They are caring, and serve under God’s will. They do what must be done to bring justice and believe in order, plucking out the seeds of rebellion and live to aid others. That is Jonathan in a nutshell.
For the most part, Jonathan’s biggest desire is for everyone to just be happy and get along. For that reason he’s almost poisonous to conflict, though he does realize that sometimes it has to happen- he just makes sure that any of the pettier ones stop. He tries to be the peacekeeper, picking out his own words carefully. Any rudeness or harsh comments that roll off him are few and far between, though, and he always apologizes profusely if they slip off his tongue. There is no room for mishap, no room for a mean insult that could hurt someone. He thinks before he says anything, and as such, he doesn’t talk as much as others would.
He tries to do what’s right, instead of what’s easy. Though, his definition of ‘right’ might be a bit skewed. He cannot accept the notion of the strong towering over and oppressing the weak; he believes everyone is born equal, and should be treated thus so. He likes to believe that sometimes, people simply just don’t show their ‘good’ as much as their ‘bad’. Jonathan does not believe he has the right to hold anyone’s life within his hands, but he will still do it, if they are only getting what they deserve. If anyone backstabs him, or (God forbid) his friends, he will hunt them down. Though, it will come with his own emotional turmoil, should he ever face down a stranger who’s done nothing wrong to him or a former (or current) friend with his sword.
However, while he’s nice, he’s not very… smart. Jonathan was manipulated by the angels in the game. Walter (the character of opposing alignment and views to Jonathan) can see just how terrible the angels are, and genuinely believes that while Chaos Route is dangerous and the circumstances surrounding it scare him, it’s a better option than to rollover and allow himself to be used by the angels for a world they want and is decides to follow the demons. The demons could not tempt Jonathan because he was blind to the flaws of the angels, which is what the demons used partly to bring Walter away.
He grew up believing that the angels of legend helped to bring peace to the land, and appreciates the peaceful life he has had so far, most likely because he had many fairy-stories of war and of Mikado’s founding he could refer to. So, when the angels presented themselves Jonathan immediately associated them as completely good. He says, if you follow him to kill Lilith, ‘do not be so swayed by the concept of reform that you are blind to reality’. But unfortunately, if there’s anyone who’s blind, it’s most likely him- because it really is apparent that there are a million things so terribly wrong with both Mikado and Tokyo, but Jonathan vehemently denies it and sticks with what he has always known, focusing on the great things about Mikado and the bad things about Tokyo, despite the fact that the angels haven’t really done anything to prove themselves as ‘good’ other than the biased tales of their country (which they should know are biased due to the inaccurate portrayals of the Tokyo people in them).
Jonathan is someone who wants something to hold onto and believe in- that happens to be the Archangels and Mikado. And if anyone threatens it, he lashes out against them and refuses to listen to their words, however selfish or close-minded it might seem. That’s also why he treats everyone so kindly whenever he can. Because he needs something to believe in himself, he tries to make himself something others can believe in so they don’t aimlessly wander the Earth or feel weak. He believes that humans need to think of others and be mindful of how they’d affect them, or else they are little more than demons.
In conclusion, he is kind and gentle because of his own insecurities and need to believe in something. But at the same time, while he believes in peace, coexistence and community, he tends to be very close-minded towards anything that could shake the foundation of what he believes in and thus tends to be a stickler for rules. He can hardly accept those with more individually-focused ideals and care not for other people, though he can be selfish himself towards preserving his own knowledge and sticking to tradition.
