That One Series With a Long and Uninteresting Name That I Do Not Wish to Remember

That One Series With a Long and Uninteresting Name That I Do Not Wish to Remember (TOSWALAUNTIDNWTR for "short") is the original continuity of the Unten series, created by , and is thus considered the first and most important series on Fantendo.
==Plot==
:This is an attempt to reconstruct the original story from various articles and interviews. It may combine details inaccurately or present events in the wrong order.
===Backstory and prequel===
According to his original backstory, Doomulus Nine took precious resources from nine nations, including his birthplace, Oorgathroln. His exploitation develops a giant fissure. Eventually, the nation crumbles into nothingness. During these events, Grime is injured and has to be made into a cyborg.[?oldid=11342 Doomulus Grime, revision as of September 23, 2007] While these events seem to match with the character's story in Fissure, placing it there in the timeline would conflict with the idea that all of the Doomuli are robots or cyborgsUser blog:Coral0excess/Fan15: Interview with Fantendo Founder! 15 years ago what was up?. It may have been retconned.
The Doomuli organization rules many solar systems in the galaxy, and seeks to dig a fissure to dominate the trade of Zeta Metal-Alpha (ZMA), a rare mineral that is crucial for cheap faster-than-light travel. Most faster-than-light travel in the galaxy uses the more common Zeta Metal-Beta.User blog:StellaStardown/Opening the Fissure
The continuity of the main TOSWALAUNTIDNWTR series would have started with a prequel, Doomuli. Doomulus Nine would be playable, and it would follow how he rose to power. Plumber planned to play Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for more ideas.
Doomulus Nine bides his time to steal the Doomuli organization's prized GigaDrill, which can transfer nutrients from soil into a living organism. He then renames himself to Doomulus Grime and flees. Doomuli Seven and Eight go after him, but are defeated. Grime escapes to obscure planets to avoid the other Doomuli, noticing that planet Zeon has unusually fertile soil.
===Fissure===
On a rainy night on Zeon, Chief Dongorio finds an infant Unten alone, and adopted him into the advanced Baraenion Tribe on Peaceful Plains, Nukingdom. Unten is conjectured to be the last Beorn. Otherwise, his backstory is deliberately vague.
During the first game, Fissure, Doomulus Grime would have had a subplot involving using his DrillShip to dig for precious nutrients, such as ZMA, to supply his weapons and armor. Due to his digging, the earth caves in around him. Grime escapes to the surface, creating a miles-long fissure down the center of Nukingdom. He then defeats Czar Kardoff and usurps the Nu throne.
For several years, the Baraenion Tribe remains unaware of Doomulus Grime's invasion of the primitive Zeon kingdom, giving the GigaDrill enough time to work. In the most well-known part of Fissure, Grime drills all the way through Zeon, causing a massive earthquake. Soon, the titular Fissure splits Zeon in half, separating Unten from the tribe. Unten resolves to somehow save Zeon.
The second half of Fissure was planned to take place in a significantly transformed overworld. Unten would then go to the Doomulus Starship orbiting Zeon, and save the planet from the Doomuli. He may have been meant to fight the other eight Doomuli before reaching Grime, although it also seems likely that this sequence was intended for later games.
At the end of the game, the GigaDrill is at 99% power, and Doomulus Grime uses a machine to transfer it into his body, becoming a supercharged monster. Unten defeats him anyway, causing all of Grime's power to drain into the machine. He collapses into dust. The GigaDrill falls into the Fissure, which caves in.[?oldid=40604 Doomulus Grime, revision as of February 4, 2009]
After the events of Fissure, it is known that Zeon's ZMA is unusually pure and doesn't need to be refined much for space travel. Subsequently, this variety of ZMA is also called Zeon Metal-Alpha.
===Unpublished games===
Fissure II: Underground would take place in a network of underground civilizations using ZMA, unknown to the surface world until the Fissure uncovered their caverns. This game would not involve the Doomuli, instead being focused on fleshing out Zeon.
Tragedy would have been five games, referencing the five-act structure of the tragedy genre of drama. In the first game, the player would control Chief Dongorio. The Doomuli would destroy other planets, Zeon itself not being among them. However, the titular Tragedy occurs because Chief Dongorio cannot stop the Doomuli from destroying Zeon's moon, as Unten is off-world at the time. Mondo also would have been the lead in some of the later games.
Throughout the rest of the series, the other Doomuli are defeated. The last battle would presumably occur in Liberation, in which the Doomuli would be disbanded as an organization, concluding the main series.
In a planned spin-off, another hero would take down some Doomuli hundreds of years after Unten.

*Chief Dongorio: The leader of the Baraenion Tribe, who adopted Unten after finding him as an infant. Protagonist of the first Tragedy game.
*Mondo: Chief Dongorio's son. He breaks the fourth wall and considers himself vital to the series. Initially the "village idiot" of the Baraenion Tribe, he grows jealous of Unten's fame, forms a third faction opposed to Unten and the Doomuli. After passing through ally, rival, antihero, and villain roles, he redeems himself and ends up as Unten's closest friend. Protagonist of some of the later games.
*The Doomuli: A group of nine robotic or cyborgian villains who want to conquer the galaxy by controlling the ZMA trade. They destroy several planets and Zeon's moon throughout the series. In Liberation, they are finally disbanded as an organization.
**Doomulus Prime: The initial leader of the Doomuli, and the exception to the rule that higher-numbered Doomuli are more powerful.
**Doomulus Grime (née Doomulus Nine): A rogue Doomulus who plans to drain and exploit Zeon's fertile soil for its energy and minerals. He ultimately overthrows Doomulus Prime.
*Czar Kardoff: Czar of the Nu throne, defeated and usurped by Doomulus Grime during the events of Fissure.
==Locations==
*Oorgathroln: The nation of Doomulus Grime's birthplace. In his backstory, Grime exploited it for precious resources.
*Zeon: Home planet of Unten and the Baraenion Tribe. It has unusually fertile soil and pure ZMA. The heroes save it from destruction at the hands of the Doomuli. It has a network of underground civilizations using ZMA, which is first revealed in Fissure II: Underground.
**Nukingdom: A kingdom on the continent Garth. Greater location of the Peaceful Plains, where the Baraenion Tribe is settled.
**Zeon's moon: A moon that the Doomuli destroy in the Tragedy games, leading to the titular Tragedy.
*Doomulus Starship: A starship that orbits Zeon in Fissure, probably planned to have larger story relevance. Unten reaches it to save Zeon from the Doomuli.
==Other series elements==
===GigaDrill===
The GigaDrill is a prized Doomuli invention that can transfer nutrients from soil into a living organism. Doomulus Grime steals it. In Fissure, he uses it to drill through Zeon, opening the titular Fissure and splitting the planet in half.
===ZMA===
ZMA, or Zeta Metal-Alpha, is a rare mineral that is crucial for cheap faster-than-light travel. Most faster-than-light travel in the galaxy uses the more common Zeta Metal-Beta. The Doomuli seek to control the ZMA trade to gain power over the galaxy. Zeon's ZMA is unusually pure and doesn't need to be refined much for space travel, leading it to also be called Zeon Metal-Alpha.
==Etymology==
The series derives its name from the first sentence of Cervantes’ novel Don Quixote:
En un lugar de la Mancha, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, no ha mucho que vivía un hidalgo de los de lanza en astillero, adarga antigua, rocín flaco y galgo corredor.
In some village in La Mancha, whose name I do not wish to remember, there dwelt not so long ago a gentleman of the type wont to keep an unused lance, an old shield, a skinny old horse, and a greyhound for racing.
