I have my list created, I just need to type it after dinner.  but, I was wondering, what if the name Harley Quinn doesn't match up with what this character does? Would that matter? I mean, I thought maybe it would since she's honoring her grandmother by using the name, but she's less of a harlequin and jester, more of a magician. |

Well, it's certainly up to you but I do think a magician-related name would be more appropriate, something along the lines of Jinx, Trix, or maybe Card-trick? |

Her real name could be Beatrix Quinzel. |

I agree, and why didn't I think of any of those? lol I'm over here complicating everything: Things like Myst Aerie, Iksyn Tryk, Para Niijah! and stuff! I shall get to typing up my list and debating more names! Thanks! |

Her real name could be Beatrix Quinzel. I like this, too! I've always liked Beatrix as a name. Same with Bellatrix! I gotta make a list! Names are important to me! Thank you, though! I'd have never thought of this Beatrix otherwise! |

Some of these I'm kinda unsure on. Some I'm not sure how they would be executed. These I really like... • Smokescreen Cubes: Create a thick cloud of smoke to allow escape. • A rope seemingly made of colorful tied handkerchiefs • Deck of Cards: razor sharp edges. Loves to fling them like daggers • A Bō. She’s skilled in Bōjutsu. Her staff has confetti (sparkly glittery kind) concealed in the top end part. She loves to tap it in the floor and cause the confetti to rain down on her when she makes an entrance. This was...difficult to explain, and I doubt I did it any justice...But, I figured it replaced Harley's hammer. On the Cutting Floor... • Trick Coin: a coin a little larger than normal that when flipped and upon hitting the ground emits a laughing gas. Loves to say: “Let’s play a game! Heads, I win! Tails, you lose!” before flipping it. (This seems…a bit impossible, but I like the idea. I’m trying my best to tweak it) • That black and white wand magicians use. Hers has a dart for tranquilizing . Maybe throwing out through a trap door on the cutting floor... • Her gloves can emit slight shocks. You know, when a clown buzzes your hand in a handshake? Except it’s a shock and not just a vibrating sound. Not sure about it. - Had a character idea for another story a while back where her gloves were...magnetized? I think that's the right word, and she can make small to medium metal objects float and seemingly hover. Also, if she moved just right, she could hover by attracting the metal secretly on her boots. And, maybe deflect metal weapons like thrown daggers. It crossed my mind to put this to this character, because magicians like to make things float, but...it seems too much.
Just some thoughts...Nothing final. But, I'd like your opinions.

These all sound great and believable to me(in a comic book world). Just let me know what you decide on for her code-name. |

Sweet! This actually really excites me! Thank you! I had stopped thinking in terms of comic books and when into realistic or semi-realistic ideas. I was in Cultural Studies when I finally started getting ideas, and that class is completely no nonsense. I guess it rubbed off! lol I'll get started on the name now. I I have to, I'll draw one from a hat! |

So, I'm conjuring (haha) up some names and I realized I had left something out. I wanted to ask: shock gloves or pyro gloves? The shock gloves are in the original post, but the pyro gloves would be a small lighter like device that attaches on the wrist and at a flick can be ignited and and a fire ball could be formed and thrown if the gloves were made of/to...I dunno, that's as far as I had gotten. But, both ideas made sense. But, in my notes I swear I put beside the shock gloves: IS SHE A CLOWN OR A MAGICIAN?! Thought it was funny and should share. And, now I dunno which one's better. Thoughts, DP? Also, I'm sorry I'm seemingly annoying. I'm just trying to make sure I give everything you need. This is kinda of new for me. Usually, I'm the one gathering info!

That would work! Right fire and left electricity? I also drew from a hat and accidentally pulled two out. So, I used both: she's named after her grandmother Harleen Quinzel and her alias is Vexation, Vex for short! I can draw again if you don't like this idea |
