Edit 7/25: For people having trouble with ideas, here's two themes that may help.
Theme #1
Class specific exotics: in the taken king, we're suppose to be getting some. Let's see what you guys can come up with.
Theme #2
Toxotics: this is basically an exotic with an amazing perk but it is also hurts you somehow.
Not really doing a competition because I'm very inconsistent.
Edit 7/24: Glad to see we're getting some traffic going again. I've decided to change what this forum is about. I want it to be a creation outlet for everyone to share their ideas, not just for exotic gear. Hopefully you guys like the change. I'll try and include some examples.
Edit 6/11: Wow, I'm surprised that people actually want this forum to stay alive. I'm sorry for being silent for so long so I've responded to a couple of posts. I'll try and respond to anyone else that adds something. Also I'm going to look for the list of exotics that I have from the last competition. I'll post it when I find it. I'm debating on doing another one. Message me if you think I should.

Dragon Slayer Fusion Rifle "Fus Ro DAH! -Dovahkiin" Obviously a reference to skyrim. Would only be available if Ahamkara Hunt was to exist. (Preset Perks) Unrelenting Force - This weapon fires up to 3 bolts at a time, but tapping the trigger will fire a single, very weak bolt. The longer you hold, the more powerful the bolt will be Arc Damage -First Exotic to have a changeable (but still unique looking) sight Bungie chooses the sights :P Has 3 unique perks Ebony Warrior - Ascendant blades of Hive origin will deal more damage and provide excellent elemental resistance Archmage of Winterhold - All elements deal much more damage to shields of unrespective colors. Random Perks Destined Dragonborn - The third bolt of the weapon's fire is powerful enough to knock any alien off their feet (except for bosses). Now because of this Ahamkara (the dragon) would be [i]extremely[/i] hard to kill. Long part of the post. Sorry. [spoiler]Ahamkara Hunt DLC That Will Never Happen: In order to start this painful task, you must find traces of the Ahamkara in Patrol Venus. Footprint, buried scale, massive egg. But Ghost must be able to scan it. When he does, you will have to talk to the Speaker, who will bring you into a cutscene. You talk blah blah blah, then he tells you to [i]find the Ahamkara, and kill it.[/i] So you go back to Venus to search for a dragon known as the Ahamkara, who could be anywhere. Hell, you might even have to chase him (but he flies, so losing him is easy)! When you do eventually get to him, Ghost tells you "I... Think this is it..." Then the Ahamkara sees you, and you fight. You have to try and kill him (although you can't this early). He ends up triumphant against you. That doesn't matter though. You return to the speaker and tell him what happened, and he mentions a weapon that you need to have in order to kill it. So you get that, and you receive a quest marker towards the Ahamkara's lair. Upon entering, Ahamkara greets you, speaking dragon of course. You don't understand him, but he understands you. You walk further into the cave, and fall into a massive, wide open chasm. Everything goes black. You wake up to find that you have no weapons and have forgotten most of your knowledge (You lost your powers), but decide to move on anyways. You must kill him. Now you enter the Ahamkara's nest, to find that he is gone and your weapons are sitting patiently in the center. You approach them quickly, as you hope Ahamkara isn't following you... As you pick your weapons up, you hear a gruesome laugh, and the ground underneath you heating up. It's a trap! You flee in terror, only to find Ahamkara sitting patiently for your arrival. To escape, you must kill him, once and for all. And the fight begins. The walls crackle as you hack away at him with your Speaker's weapon of choice, and it seems to be working. Keep it up, Guardian! But keep in mind, you must move quick or you will melt in the flames of death emerging behind you. And respawn from last checkpoint. You're killing him, you're killing him! He's almost dead, and a decides [i]giving you q chance[/i] isn't very fun. And so he starts fighting back. Just kill him. And now he's dead, and you might be rewarded with the epic dragonslayer![/spoiler]
