On February 4, 2010, Bluethunder213 arrived at Mass Effect Fanon and created the wiki’s first article, the Vapor rifle. In the beginning, the article was 303 bytes, or two sentences. Since then, the article has grown to 4,000 bytes, or over 4,000 characters. The article is about an incendiary rifle used by both the Alliance and thugs. The article spans the whole history of the weapon.
Here’s an excerpt:
The Vapor rifle, also known as the V rifle, was an assault rifle that was manufactured by the Earth based company, Vapor Industries. The rifle had incendiary rounds, which caused combustion if a target was hit several times. It had a red barrel and a short range scope that allowed for medium range accuracy. It was the first rifle developed by Vapor Industries. After several years of use, an upgraded version of the rifle was produced, the V2 Rifle. Soon after, the Vapor rifle became obsolete. The weapon was later obtained by the Cherovs, who used it during the Quarian Wars.
Here’s what Bluethunder213, the author, has to say about the article:
After I found Mass Effect Fanon, I immediately wanted to adopt it. I knew that I would need to start making articles if I could get the chance to, so I created the Vapor rifle. At first, I didn’t intend for it to grow as large as it did, but it was so easy to come up with ideas. I did take inspiration from the blaster rifles in the Star Wars series.
No matter how many articles are made, the Vapor rifle will always be known as Mass Effect Fanon’s first article.
