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.

Edited by Stahero: 3/15/2015 1:55:22 PMI thoroughly enjoy posts like these. Thank you, OP... Here, listed below, is a few Exotic Weapons I have thought up. [b]ARTIST AT WORK[/b] Pulse Rifle (Exotic) Passive Perk (Exotic) -Mosaic Triptych: Fires one Solar, one Arc, and one Void round with each triple-burst shot. Other Perks -Rodeo -Explosive Rounds Description: [i]"Your enemies are your masterpiece. Their blood is the paint, their corpses the sculptures. Immortalize their demise and display them for all to see."[/i] Design: The Artist At Work is beautifully crafted. It's central design is bright, vibrant, and full of color. Integrated into its design is fragments of stained glass, giving the pulse rifle a glossy finish. Quintessentially, the Artist At Work has a low rate of fire, high impact, decent reload speed, and a 21 round clip (7 shot) [b]SKELETON KEY[/b] Sniper Rifle (Exotic) Exotic Perk -Keyhole: High Caliber rounds hyper-penetrate and can pass through walls as well as multiple targets. Precision hits will almost always stagger enemies. Other Perks -Void Damage (Passive) -Final Round -Who's Next Description: [i]"...every secret, every treasure, every regret, every truth... It's all behind doors and tumblers, waiting to be unlocked..."[/i] Design: Skeleton Key has a very macabre design. Forged from the bones of Ahamkara, this exotic sniper glows with with a faint purple hue. This weapon has an extremely high impact, low rate of fire, decent range, slow reload speed, and a 4 round clip. [b]UNMAKE THE HEAVENS[/b] Rocket Launcher (Exotic) Exotic Perk -Inferno Clusters: Rockets create incendiary bomb clusters upon detonation. Other Perks -Tracking -Clown Cartridge Description: [i]"...enough firepower to bring down the sun and stars."[/i] Design: Unmake The Heavens features a very sinister design. Seemingly molded from volcanic ash and obsidian, a magma glow emits from this weapon. Statistically, Unmake The Heavens has an extremely high velocity and blast radius. It's reload speed, however, is extremely low as its rate of fire. There can only be one rocket in the tube (unless Clown Cartridge triggers). [b]GRIMOIRE[/b] ARTIST AT WORK [spoiler]The Artist At Work is weapon of disputed legend. Found amidst the flotsam of a monumental battle, the Artist At Work tells a story of annihilation. Even unto the wisdom of the Gunsmith, the Artist At Work's exact technology is unfathomably obscured, its origins hotly contested. However, by collective hypothesis, the gun is believed to originate from the Future War Cult. But whatever is or isn't true, its widely assumed the creator of this weapon did not intend for it to ever be found... let alone lost to begin with.[/spoiler] SKELETON KEY [spoiler]"Whoever finds this, I've failed... I was sent on a routine patrol, I thought the threats already assessed. Why the Warlocks were so damn interested, I don't know... But now I'm surrounded with no way of escaping. Whatever thing this is, the Vex don't want it found and maybe it shouldn't be. Ikora, if you ever hear this, I--" "Give me your sword..." "Wh-... who was... was that you?" "Give me your sword, oh bearer mine..." "I... what do you want?" "Give me your sword, oh bearer mine, and I will give you a universe without limits. After all, reality is a morsel best eaten when your enemies can longer hide behind it."[/spoiler] UNMAKE THE HEAVENS [spoiler]"How can I explain... I had hoped it was a myth, a story told from forgotten nightmares. What you have found--what you have awakened--is neither a monster of darkness... or a weapon light. It is the end of things; the conclusion of existence. Many believe its arrival will herald forth the apocalypse, culling the signs of our impending doom... But for now it will wait, it will grow hungry. And when its appetite can no longer be repressed, it will feast; a fiery hunt which will unmake the very heavens..."[/spoiler] Thoughts? EDIT: Such unexpected reception... If anyone's interested I've also prepared a Grimoire for each weapon. See Grimoire.
