Jean Luc

* White Noise Online
* White Noise 2

*Jean Luc* is a starter Investigator in White Noise Online. He is one of the six Investigators to reappear as a unique character in White Noise 2.

## Description

Despite his fear of the dark, Jean Luc tries his best to uncover the truth behind the so-called supernatural events, risking his own life in the process.

### Appearance

Jean Luc is a male of average height with a white skin tone. He has blonde, medium-length hair, blue eyes, and a cleft chin. He wears a grey shirt underneath a grey leather jacket with long sleeves. He wears a grey belt.

## Tips

Jean Luc is the most polarizing of the starter Investigators. His Speed and Stamina help him flee from Subject 23 quicker, but because of his lack of Evasion, the Creature will find him at an average rate. In many cases, Jean Luc should only use his Speed to escape an encounter, as his already-low Sanity will get even worse as he runs. Players using Jean Luc should be incredibly wary of Idols, as they may lose Sanity without realizing it before encountering Subject 23 afterwards. Additionally, they should avoid forcing other Investigators to run and catch up, as their own Sanity cap will be lower, as well as completely disregard running until Subject 23 first appears.

## Tips

Jean Luc is a fairly restrictive Investigator when it comes to roles. He has good Speed and great Endurance, allowing him to easily run directly to the Creature and stun them while also being able to get away by himself, but has the lowest Bravery in the game alongside Denali, keeping him from caboosing well. His average Exploration and Stealth limit his ability to lead and split, meaning he is stuck guarding most of the time.

Jean Luc is a very handy Investigator for characters such as Denali and Vincent, who both have the worst Endurance stats in the game. HELPFUL will increase their Endurance to an average level, which will help them in the long run. In turn, Jean Luc benefits from Vincent's EXPERIENCED trait, which allows him to lead if necessary, and more importantly, Kurt with his LEADER trait increasing his Bravery. LEADER combined with a bottle of Painkillers will let Jean Luc caboose, which is a very rare occurrence.

Jean Luc's primary weakness is his poor Bravery. His Bravery stat will lock him out of caboosing in most circumstances and makes him susceptible to going insane very quickly, especially if the Creature is Lilith. Due to this glaring weakness, he should always try to have some Painkillers on him. Jean Luc is also very weak to Astaroth, who has the highest Horror in the game, and Hellspawn Idols, which lower Bravery when summoned. When Rinko is devoured, Jean Luc's already poor Bravery also decreases dramatically. All of these possible circumstances will severely harm Jean Luc. He can use his Old Rocker skin to increase his Bravery, although this also makes him more susceptible to powers such as ENERGY TRAP.

## Trivia

* The character of Jean Luc resembles Norville "Shaggy" Rogers from the Hanna-Barbera show Scooby-Doo, who also has poor bravery.
	+ The Champs Elysees skin changes Jean Luc's jacket to a green color and his hair brown, further referencing Shaggy.
* Jean Luc's first two alternate skins reference Investigators in White Noise Online who used Jean Luc's model.
	+ The Old Rocker skin references Richard, who had +2 Sanity and +1 Flashlight at the cost of -2 Evasion.
	+ The Executive skin references Omar, who was one of the seven characters unlocked by purchasing other games from Milkstone Studios on the Xbox 360, specifically White Noise: A Tale of Horror. Omar has +1 Stamina and +3 Scout, but the lowest Evasion in the game at -3.
* Jean Luc is the only Classic Character who wears an elf hat and elf ears on their Christmas skin.
* Formerly, Jean Luc's positive trait was MARTYR. This increased his idol detection by 100% as a ghost.
