Ladies and gentlemen! Bungie has decided to only allow 7 options per poll, so I will be posting my personal top six most badass Exotics! This is purely aesthetic and description reasons only, I will be posting the descriptions along with their unique perks here! [u][b]Thunderlord[/b][/u] [i]"They rest quiet on fields afar...for this is no ending, but the eye."[/i] [b]- Hymn of the Thunderlord[/b] [b]Customized with an experimental induction core, the Thunderlord is a heavy machine gun built for the delivery of sustained punishment.[/b] [b]The weapon's history and mechanism are both shrouded in ritualistic awe. Each round fired is another word in the legend - and the Guardians who bear the Thunderlord will be immortalized in song. [/b] [u][b]Red Death[/b][/u] [i]Vanguard policy urges Guardians to destroy this weapon on sight. It is a Guardian killer.[/i] [b]Only rumors tell of the mad Guardian who fashioned this butcher's tool. But its power is undeniable, and fear is a formidable weapon.[/b] [u][b]Necrochasm[/b][/u] [i]"Eternity is very close. Can you feel yourself slipping?"[/i] [b]The Weapons of Sorrow were believed to be nothing more than a myth. But even the darkest myths are born of some truths, and whispers of the Necrochasm have long filled the Light with dread. It is said the Necrochasm was born in the twilight after Crota’s sword first cracked the Moon. That a lost Guardian’s weapon was altered by the Hive in an attempt to fuse their own dark understanding with humanity’s mastery of war. The result was a weapon that would feed on its owner’s aggression—reaching further when angry eyes drew focus, its hunger rising as it tore through bone and flesh. Any Guardian who comes across the weapon must ask some very simple questions with endlessly complicated answers: Is your Light bright enough to stand, even briefly, in full gaze of the Hive's abyss? Can it handle what has died and been reborn in those shadows?[/b] [u][b]Vex Mythoclast[/b][/u] "[i]...a causal loop within the weapon's mechanism, suggesting that the firing process somehow binds space and time into... Some legends live forever. Others are overwritten - reshaped by the sheer will of those who believe that any ordeal can be conquered, any foe vanquished, any god cast down. [/i]" [b]The Mythoclast is a Vex instrument from some far-flung corner of time and space, mysteriously fit for human hands. Its origins, mechanism of action, and ultimate purpose remain unknown. Perhaps it will reveal itself to you, in time... [/b] [u][b]Bad Juju[/b][/u] [i]"If you believe your weapon wants to murder all existence, then so it will."[/i] [b]- Toland the Shattered[/b] ( Me ) "[i]There must be a structured, mechanical explanation for this weapon's hunger for combat. There must be. But none has been found. [/i]" (Personal Favorite) [u][b]Thorn[/b][/u] [i]"To rend one's enemies is to see them not as equals, but objects - hollow of spirit and meaning." - 13th Understanding, 7th Book of Sorrow[/i] [b]Augmented through dark practices, Thorn was once a hero's weapon. Its jagged frame hints at a sinister truth: a powerful connection to the unutterable sorceries of the Hive. The legend of Thorn is bound to the rise and fall of Dredgen Yor, a Guardian whose name is remembered with disgust and shame. The weapon was thought destroyed...but rumors of its existence still haunt the wilds. [/b] [u][b]Gjallahorn[/b][/u] [i]"If there is beauty in destruction, why not also in its delivery?" - Feizel Crux[/i] [b]The Gjallarhorn shoulder-mounted rocket system was forged from the armor of Guardians who fell at the Twilight Gap. Gifted to the survivors of that terrible battle, the Gjallarhorn is seen as a symbol of honor and survival. [/b] So guardians! Now that you've heard the description of my personal choice of badass weapons, decide!
