Early years
"Christian Marciano was born on May 25th, 2027 in St. Paul, Minnesota to Axton and Georgina Marciano (nee Sveldssen). His parentsts met while attending the University of Minnesota, where Axton was an All-American in the shotput and Georgina made All-Big 18 as a volleyball player.
At a young age, it was apparent that Christian had inherited athletic ability from his parents. According to stories told by friends and family, by the time he was four years old, Christian was able to throw a perfect spiral 10 yards. When Marciano turned eight years old he began playing peewee football, and was already being scouted by local universities, mostly because the teams couldn't believe the legends of a 5 foot 6 inch tall third grader who apparently could throw a nearly-perfect 12 yard out route.
""It was unreal to watch him play against kids who were literally half his size. Normally there are rules against player size and being able to carry the ball in PeeWee Football, but legend is that Christian simply walked into a league meeting once and intimidated all of the parents and coaches into letting him play Quarterback,"" said a PeeWee Coach who wished to remain anonymous.
After dominating the 14 and under circuit in the Twin Cities, Christian attended Cretin-Durham Hall Prepatory Academy in St. Paul, where he helped lead the football team to a perfect regular season in 2043 as well as a berth in the Minnesota State Championship.
During his freshman year of high school, Marciano was offered an athletic scholarship to the University of Minnesota, his parets' alma mater, which he accepted."
College career
"The summer before his senior year of high school at Cretin-Durham, Christian found a way to graduate early so he could enroll early at the University of Minnesota, as many highly-sought recruits do. However, during that spring, the Men's Football Coach, TJ Pleck, was forced to resign after it was discovered that he was funneling money from his apparel deal with Under Armour away from the players and instead to local charities, which was a clear violation of the NCAA's anti-community enrichment policy.
Marciano was at a crossroads. Coach Pleck was the reason he signed on with Minnesota, as he was the first college coach to approach him back in third grade. He decided to withdraw from school, unsure of his future. However, as if by fate, two weeks after withdrawing from the U of M, Chrstian's uncle, Harold Sveldssen, was named the head coach for the Concordia University football team. Concordia is a small college located in St. Paul, MN that plays in the Division III of college football. For them to bring in a recruit of Marciano's (who was regarded as a 5 star recruit coming out of high school) was unheard of.
During his college years, the difference in athletic ability between Marciano and those at opposing schools was apparent. He was two-way player the three years he played for Concordia, playing both Quarterback and Middle Linebacker.
Christian ended his three years in Division 3 as the career leader in passing yards, passing touchdowns, rushing touchdowns, tackles, tackles for loss, and sacks."

DSFL Career
DSFL Draft
After absolutely demolishing the competition while attending Concordia University, Marciano obviously caught the eyes of numerous professional scouts from the Developmental Simulation Football League, a minor league affiliate of the International Simulation Football League who commented on how they had never seen such an obvious mismatch of skills between one player and his competition. Heading into the Season 32 DSFL Draft, there was speculation that Marciano might slide out of the first round after he announced at a pre-draft press conference that he had been known to drink alcohol as a minor on numerous occasions.
Mere hours before the draft started, Marciano released a public statement through his agent: "It was wrong of me to advertise my affinity for kicking back with a sixer when I am not yet of legal drinking age. It was irresponsible of me, as a public figure and role model for children, to be so cavalier about underage alcohol consumption. However, if any of the teams out there fear that my drinking habits will in any way interfere with my ability to play the game, I am here to tell you that they will not. For the record, I was hungover for every single home game during my career at Concordia, and I still set every single Division III passing record."
Unimpressed by his so-called "apology" many DSFL teams decided to pass on Marciano, who many experts named as far and away the best prospect the DSFL had ever seen.
Marciano did not end up sliding out of the first round however, as he was selected with the final pick in the first round (eighth overall) by the defending Ultimini Champions, the Dallas Birddogs who were in need of a new Quarterback after the departure of Ricky Stanzi.
Season 32
Season 32 for the Birddogs started off not as they had hoped, with Dallas losing on the road to the Tijuana Luchadores 49-31 in the first contest of the season. Marciano, however, did his part to keep the team competitive, completing 25 out of 45 passes for 353 yards and two touchdowns, with one interception. This was the beginning of a pattern for Dallas's year, as the offense finished in the top half of the DSFL in points and yards but the defense struggled to stop anyone.
Marciano showed promise throughout the season as a rookie signal caller, with his top performance coming in Week 14 when he shredded the London Royals for 241 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception, en route to a 45-24 win for Dallas. That win, however, was one of the few highlights of the season for Dallas, as the team stumbled to a 4-10 record, the third-least win total in the league for Season 32. Marciano did what he could, ending the season with a respectable stat line of 288 completions for 3387 yards and 21 touchdowns. For his efforts, he was nominated for both Quarterback of the Year and Offensive Rookie of the Year.
