Mauru

"why does everyone hate emo kids oh what is this hello little crab"

- Mauru, Brobro Story 4 Part 1

Mauru (Mah-Roo) is a lonely emo Onu-Matoran, who first appears in Brobro story 4, part 1. When Brobro and Doofenbur come to learn their crebs are being 'attacked' by crabs, Brobro decides to commit mass genocide on the crab species. Meanwhile, Mauru is lying in the nearby grasses of Pen Island, upset about people generally making fun of emo culture, when he sees a small crab appear. After cheerfully befriending the crab, he learns that crabs are capable of learning speech from schooling, which he feels odd about, but supports nonetheless. Before he can say anything more however, Brobro reaches in, grabs Mauru's intelligent crab friend, and crushes him in his fist; painting his hand a bright red color. Mauru breaks down into tears, irrationally upset about the dilemma, while Brobro and Doofenbur count their singular crab fatalities and plan to head to Crab King Island

Mauru appears again in Story 4 Part 2, where he has joined Brobro's team of misfits on their trip to Crab King Island; according to Brobro because "every team has the emo kid". It is unclear as to whether Mauru joined willingly or by force.

In Story 4 Part 3, during a confrontation between Brobro's team and Crab King, Mauru is shot in the head by a bullet from Brobro, supposedly killing him immediately and giving him a septic infection from Brobro carrying the firearm in his ass. Red liquid spills from the wound in his head.

Appearance: As a Matoran of Earth, Mauru's color scheme follows average Onu-Matoran colors. He sports a black Kanohi Pakari, Toa Mata/Nuva chestpiece, and feet with dark gray limbs and black Mata "hands". On his chest, he has a broken purple Heartlight, split down it's middle. Mauru is also the only character with jet black hair, fashioned after stereotypical emo hair.

Personality:

Little is known about Mauru's overall personality, as he has only appeared briefly in the series. He is quick to grow deep emotional attachment to small animals, and is easily upset upon their death. Even when he is calm, Mauru seems to dislike talking to fellow Matoran or Toa, as he never speaks to any members of the team. Spud has mentioned Mauru listening strictly to Three Days Grace, but this is yet to be confirmed.

History:

As of now, little is known of Mauru's origin. He is presumed to have a home on Pen Island.

Extras:

After the death of their character, Spud, announced they would be working on a Microsoft Windows Movie Maker presentation as a tribute to Mauru. There has been no updates as to development since.

Trivia:


 * Despite being referred to as a Matoran, Mauru's render shows him with a Toa's body; adjacent to Toa Pohatu Nuva. There has been no given explanation as of yet to why this is.
 * It is physically impossible to accurately build Mauru, as his Heartlight has nothing to connect to without glue or other illegal methods.
 * In original concept art, Mauru has several cuts on his forearms, and states he has AIDs. There has been no mention of this in the official series.
