Early years
Rando was born in Garland, Texas to Mischief and Chaos Cardrissian. From an early age, they could not tell what exactly Rando would grow up to be, and a personality was hard to pin down, even day to day. They spent a lot of their time bouncing from house to house in Garland, citing myriad reasons from gas leaks, mold, undesirable neighbors, and burglary incidents, before they finally settled on a place in the south side of town, where Rando would end up attending high school and playing for South Garland. Every time the family moved, they would throw a dart at a city map and move in where it landed, if available. He would be critical to getting them in the playoffs his junior and senior years and advancing them to the 2029 Texas HS Championships his senior year. Unfortunately, they would not nab that coveted state title. When choosing a college, he went with the family's normal method and threw a dart at a map, landing on Virginia Tech in Blacksburg.
College career
Rando served his true freshman season with a redshirt, and what a time to do so, as an ankle injury in practice left him sidelined for weeks during the season. He would wait until his redshirt sophomore season to get action on the field and provided a boost to the offense almost straight away, rushing for 156 yards and 2 touchdowns against Duke. He would help push Virginia Tech to a 9-4 season in 2032, then to 11-2 in 2033 with an ACC title game loss, then to 13-1 in 2034, finally getting the Hokies to the CFP. They would unfortunately fall in the semifinal to Stanford. He was in some talks of awards, though there were just more massive efforts from other offensive players around the country, and a crowded RB field he didn't seem to distinguish himself in. Finally out of eligibility, Cardrissian bounced working odd jobs before taking a chance to play football again, enlisting in the DSFL.

Professional career
DSFL career
Rando was drafted 38th overall in the DSFL Draft by the Kansas City Coyotes, one of several RBs taken on the night. Unlike in college, however, he would separate himself from the field in a hurry, racking up 103 yards and 2 touchdowns on 18 carries in his first professional football game, a narrow 24-23 loss to the Portland Pythons, earning offensive player of the game honors. He would do so again in Week 3, a 24-12 win over the Minnesota Gray Ducks, making much of 18 carries with 96 yards and 3 touchdowns. He would score at least one touchdown in each of his first five games, putting him in early awards talks despite sharing carries with teammate Andrew Nova. He would go on to finish the season with 1,176 yards on 241 carries (4.9 average) and a league-leading 14 touchdowns. He would score the only touchdown in a 36-7 loss to the Gray Ducks, also with 74 yards on 14 carries. He would wrap up his one-season DSFL career by earning Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.

Rando was drafted 32nd overall by the San Jose SaberCats. Despite being one of the standout RBs in his draft class, RBs were not a heavily needed commodity, and so, even rival draftee Baby Yoda fell into later rounds. Starting his career as RB2 behind Quindarius Tyerucker, he has thus far put in a modest performance. He scored his first career NSFL touchdown in a 30-14 win over the Yellowknife Wraiths on a night where he also gained a career-high 68 yards.
