## **Maurotauro's Story**

**Childhood**

It all started in a farm, in Sinsistaar, the plain where the Tower grew.

Bill, a simple shepherd, lived alone with his cow Lola and survived thanks to his crops and the milk produced by her.

But after a long time alone he began to develop more and more desire, until one day he could not resist anymore.

The victim of this relentless desire was poor Lola.

But what Bill did not expect is that life was born from that union.

And after 300 days little Maurotauro was born.

Mauro was born half bull and half man.

Growing up Mauro discovered that he was endowed with superhuman strength that let him lift his father's tractor and an almost infinite resistance that allowed him to plow all fields by himself without getting tired; he was also easily irritable and very competitive.

**The rain**

Everything was fine for Mauro and his family until... one day a long, terrible rain started. Days and days of storms ended up ruining all the fields and also most of the supplies. There was nothing they could do, they would all die of hunger. It was then that Bill had to take the most important decision in his life.

**Last dinner**

In the evening Mauro had returned home after another failed attempt to save the harvest.

But something was different.

The table was set. There were steaks everywhere cooked to the right point. He sat down and began to eat with his father.After a while he noticed that something was missing and so turning to his father asked: -Where is mother? -. Bill looked at the table and began to cry. At that point Mauro understood ...

He ran out into the rain.

He ran as far as he could.

Then he stopped and in the silence I heard a dull sound, a shot. He ran back as fast as he could, but it was too late...he was alone in that farm.

**A difficult life**

Mauro was not able to manage a farm on his own, so he sold it for a few pennies and left for the city, for Cocoon Planet. His father didn't give him a good education and he didn't know how to survive on his own.The only thing that remained of that place was a phobia. For rain.That rain that had taken everything away from him. He broughthis father's old umbrella with him.

From his first day he was targeted by some criminals, who tried to rob and mistreat him. But Mauro, with his faithful umbrella hit them all, defeating them. It was there that Madam Ona, who was watching the scene, saw his talent and recruited him.

Mauro soon began to participate in clandestine fights, an easy way to make money for someone like him. One tasked Taikomochi with keeping an eye on the young and prominisng gladiator; what she didn't expect was for the two to become friends, bonding over their mutual love for umbrellas. Over the years they designed and created many different kinds of anti-rain equipment, all of which ended up in Maurotauro's arsenal.

This, however, made him accumulate many enemies over the years.

**Retirement**

And we finally get to the present. After years of fighting Mauro finally managed to save a lot of money, so he had his father's umbrella plated in gold and bought back the family home where he desired to live in peace.

The years of hard fighting are over now… ..or so he thought. The Circus Mafia had no intention of letting his potential go to waste, or worse, be employed by their enemies. They put a bounty on his head; Mauro's power, however, wasn't easily subdued: he fought them back, inch by inc.

**The enemies**

All that money amassed on an isolated farm has attracted unwanted attention:

Sellers: despicable people who would do anything to get rich;

Minions: former contenders of Mauro now in search of revenge;

Bullycops: police force that wants to arrest Mauro for his clandestine activities.

Kami: Cocoon Planet's criminal masteminds.

**The videogame**

Maurotauro once again has to fight, but this time he fights to defend the peace and tranquility of his new life.

Will he make it or will he go bankrupt?

## **His loved umbrellas**

**Goldbrella:**

Old family umbrella now gold plated.

Disappear enemies with a single shot.

It has infinite durance and can be thrown to the enemies.

**Cashbrella:**

Sticky umbrella.

When you hit an enemy with it some of his money will stick.

Good for close range.

However, the adhesive power is not eternal and after a while it is completely unusable.

**Boombrella:**

When you pick it up you have to be careful.

It is an explosive umbrella that is useful if thrown, but dangerous if held in the hand for too long.

**Icebrella:**

Long umbrella made entirely of ice.

Great for hitting enemies even at greater distances.

If you use it for a long time, however, it ends up melting and it is difficult to throw it, but it is excellent in martinis.

**Omnibrella:**

Legend says that iwhen all four umbrellas are joined together, the omnibrella will be borne.

The definitive umbrella is able to modify, even permanently, the fabric of reality; a power that's been exclusive to the Motivatower ever since its creation.

The only issue with obtaining this formidable weapon is a missing ingredient: OrGlu, the special adhesive produced by Greedy Bastard.
