"You've got some real balls, man. You got some business with us?"

—Jonathan, on Frank's arrival

"This place looks like it's seen better days."

—Jonathan, upon reaching the Security Room

Jonathan Picardsen is a survivor appearing in Dead Rising and Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop.

He is found in the Huntin' Shack in the North Plaza during the unmarked scoop Gun Shop Standoff. Jonathan is one of three armed survivors occupying the store, and is initially distrustful of Frank West.

Gun Shop Standoff

Main article: Gun Shop Standoff

Jonathan has occupied the gun store in North Plaza with two other survivors, Alyssa Laurent and Brett Styles. When Frank West enters the shop, they mistake him for a zombie and immediately open fire, forcing Frank to retreat. Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, Jonathan approaches Frank to question his motives.

Frank offers to escort them to the Security Room, assuring them that a helicopter is coming to rescue the survivors in the mall. Jonathan is skeptical, having seen the Security Room door welded shut in the Entrance Plaza. Brett then asks Frank to prove his story by bringing them a photograph of the duct.

After Frank returns with the requested photograph, the group is convinced and agrees to follow him to safety.

Infinity Mode

Main article: Infinity Mode

In Infinity Mode, Jonathan appears in Theater 5 at Colby's Movieland from 2:19:00 to 3:00:00, and is armed with a Machinegun. In his equipment, he carries a Bass Guitar, a Nightstick, a Dumbbell, a Katana, and a Milk.

Trivia

• Jonathan is the only male survivor in Dead Rising with ear piercings.
• If Jonathan, Brett, and Alyssa are not escorted to the Security Room, their bodies are later found behind the gun store counter after the arrival of the Special Forces, suggesting they were killed during the sweep.
• In an early build of Infinity Mode, Jonathan had a different spawn location and weapon. He originally appeared in the Food Court wielding a Shovel, while in the final version, he spawns in Colby's Movieland Theater 5 armed with a Machinegun.
