JONATHAN HIVE

SCARE ShEEt: JonAthAn hivE (BugSy)

Sir,

I would suggest that SCARE keep a careful eye on Jonathan Hive, or, as his intimate acquaintances know him, Bugsy.

For someone with such a ridiculous and largely useless power, he keeps turning up at the center of important events,

where he somehow plays a primary role in their resolution.

He has built up a solid fan base on the Internet with his so-called journalism, and, to be fair, Hive does seem to have

real investigative skills, perhaps due to his extensive contacts within both the ace and joker communities. He has

failed, though, to gain entry into the ranks of mainstream journalism so far. If he were to become more dedicated to the

actual act of writing, he might someday succeed.

Hive is a figurative and literal lightweight, but can be influential, and, by way of his personal attachments, his

pretensions to journalistic ethics, and his reluctant do-gooder tendencies, he can be manipulated to SCARE’s ends.

Sincerely,

Jamal Norwood

SCARE operative

hiStoRy

Jonathan, in his mid-twenties, has scruffy brown hair and a

generally amused expression. He is from a well-to-do, if dysfunc-

tional, family from Washington, D.C. He has a college degree and

a trust fund (which is running low). His ultimate goal is to be

a journalist, essayist, and political commentator, so naturally he

goes on

American Hero

to achieve this goal.

He doesn’t do particularly well on the show and is discarded early,

but he befriends John Fortune, partially for altruistic reasons,

partially out of cynical self-interest, and, to his credit, is one of

the first to join Fortune on his patently hopeless (but ultimately

successful) quest to save the Egyptian jokers. He blogs about their

experiences and exposes the atrocities occurring in that country

to the world. Although of minimal use in battle, his wasps serve

well as spies and scouts, and, given the proper target, can be a

major distraction with their stings.

After Egypt he remains with the Committee. He is sent to Pyote,

Texas, to investigate the mysterious atomic explosion, and his

blogging this time earns him an arrest warrant for “disseminating

classified information in a public venue.” SCARE attempts to arrest

him, but he flees, ending up in New Orleans, where he begins a

relationship with the dead ace Simoon, facilitated by Cameo.

He experiences the madness of Tom Weathers at first hand, and

Lohengrin, in his role as Committee head, sends him off to inves-

tigate Weathers’ background, origins, and possible weaknesses.

This takes Bugsy and Cameo, who accompanies him (bringing

with her Simoon and Nick “Will-o’-Wisp” Williams), on a round-

the-world junket to some fascinating but dangerous places.

Simple archive research reveals that the Radical seemingly first

appeared in 1993, but he learns from long-time

Aces!

magazine

reporter Digger Downs that Weathers’ actual origin occurred

in 1970, in People’s Park, San Francisco, where he mysteriously

appeared to save the Lizard King from the first ace known as

Hardhat, then just as mysteriously disappeared. Downs also men-

tions a hippie chick by the name of Sunflower who was with him,

and through old-fashioned research Bugsy discovers her real

name and links her to the custody battle with Mark Meadows

over Sprout, their developmentally challenged child. Bugsy

thinks, though, that Meadows is dead, and that Weathers might

be Sprout’s father. He realizes that Meadows is involved somehow,

so he and Cameo go to Vietnam, where Meadows was chancel-

lor in the 1990s, in the hope that Cameo can channel him and

get some answers to their questions. To their surprise, they dis-

cover Cameo can’t call him up, meaning Meadows must still be

alive. It’s not until after they battle Weathers at the PPA/Caliphate

peace conference in Paris that Bugsy learns the astonishing true

nature of the Meadows/Weathers relationship from Jay Ackroyd.

In the meantime, he decides he has to break up with Simoon; he

can’t stand the weirdness of the Cameo-Simoon-Williams trian-

gle any longer. He does, and it breaks the girl’s non-beating heart.

More importantly, he foolishly tosses away her earring, which she’d

given him after removing it from Cameo’s ear. This removes a

potent arrow from the Committee’s quiver when they finally face

Tom Weathers for the last time. Hive is devastated by the outcome,

especially Cameo’s death.

PERSonAlity

Feckless and flighty (much like the wasps he turns into), Bugsy

inevitably eventually bugs all those around him

(except, it seems, the almost imperturbable

Lohengrin), but it’s hard to stay angry

at him for long because his heart

in generally in the right place.

He might have to think about it

for a while, but he almost always

does the right thing when push comes

to shove, disguising his decision

behind cynical wisecracks.

He longs to be accepted as

a journalist/writer (and has

achieved a certain amount of

notoriety on the Internet), but

lacks the discipline necessary to the

craft. He’d love to play a journalist on

television.

PowERS & ABilitiES

Bugsy can turn himself into a swarm of over a hundred

thousand green wasps that (as a whole) maintains his

human intelligence and can act in a coordinated and dis-

ciplined manner to achieve his aims. He can lose a certain

number of them, but if too many die and he loses a critical per-

centage of his mass, he has a hard time reassembling himself.

When he’s in swarm form he can communicate by using the

wasps’ tiny bodies to spell out short messages. They sting; get

stung enough and you could be in trouble, especially if you’re

allergic.

He is also a decent writer, is `net savvy, and does have a certain

amount of investigative skill.

AlliES

Although he’s not always recognized as such, Jonathan

Hive is an integral member of the Committee. He has

disability:

His insect components become sluggish or comatose in

thick smoke or even average winter temperatures.

Motivation—Recognition:

While Hive wants to achieve justice for

those who deserve it and to experience thrills along the way, his prima-

ry goal in life is to be remembered: for his writing, for his exploits, or

just for being himself.

Weakness:

Hive’s individual wasps are as easily fried, drowned,

smooshed, or poisoned as normal insects. The death of any single

wasp is something he notices but doesn’t suffer particularly from, but

if enough of his wasps are destroyed his ability to reform his human

body is endangered.
