Early years
Reginald Elmsworth Hammerfall, born on January 28 2038, in the gritty city of Stockton, California, emerged from humble beginnings to become a dual-sport sensation.
Family
Raised in the heart of Stockton, Hammerfall was born to a hardworking father who toiled as a steelworker, shaping the city's backbone with the sweat of his brow. His mother, a former investment banker and ring girl in the world of professional wrestling, added a touch of flair and showmanship to the family dynamics. Reginald was not the lone star in the Hammerfall family constellation. He grew up alongside a battalion of nine brothers. The Hammerfall's have a family pedigree in unicycling, baseball, professional eating, athletics, boxing, wrestling, fishing and kabaddi which meant Reggie was brought up in a competitive environment. However, he is the only of his family to try his hand at football.
His older brother "Iron Mike” (born Michael Cecil Hammerfall) was a baseball prodigy with a fastball that struck fear into opposing batters. Iron Mike played two seasons for the Norfolk Tides before retiring early to pursue a career in wrestling. Reginald’s younger brother "Lightning Lance" (born Lancelot Archibald Hammerfall) was a track and field sensation who dominated the 100m and 200m at the Diamond Athletics League before becoming a merchant sailor based out of Douala in Cameroon. Reginald’s twin brother ""Bronze Bobby,"" is also an up-and-coming amateur boxer who has appeared multiple times as a professional wrestler.
In 2059 Reginald describes his childhood as "typical" in an interview with a local radio station SLVK. He went on, "we had Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons.. in the Spring we'd make meat helments. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and my brothers would beat me with reeds - pretty standard really. Toughened me up."
Dual Sports Dominance in High School
In the hallowed halls of Conyers School, Hammerfall’s became dual-sport phenom, effortlessly conquering the wrestling mat with the finesse of a seasoned grappler. His mastery of the football field, however, was where he truly thundered onto the scene, playing both on offence and defence, earning various accolades and championships.
College career

Hammerfall became Durham Saints' starting running back during his true freshman season. He was named the Newcomer of the Week after rushing 132 yards and two touchdowns in a 28-56 loss against Roehampton University.

He finished the season with 897 rushing yards and nine touchdowns whilst also catching 23 passes for 252 yards and one touchdown.

2061
Reginald Hammerfall was drafted with the 6th pick of the first round by the Dallas Birddogs in 2061 (S46).
In his debut for the Dallas Birddogs, Hammerfall faced off against the Norfolk Seawolves and carried the ball 14 times whilst churning out 51 yards on the ground. Hammerfall found the end zone twice and for his outstanding performance was awarded the offensive game ball.
The Birddogs schemed away from the ground game for much of the season leading Hammerfall to let his frustrations go in a locker room interview after week 3: "Put the balls in my hands! If you want to win games you gotta utilise your strongest assets. Me and the guys are onto Kansas." After little improvement in week 4 Hammerfall stormed out of an interview after commenting: "Honestly, it's like they've got blinders on! I'm out here ready to run through a brick wall, and they're handin' me the ball like it's a hot potato. Fifteen carries? Come on, man! I know I can do more if they'd just give me the chance to prove it."
Whatever frustrations the team appeared to have they put this behind them in week 5 when Hammerfall accumulated over 100 yards (103) for the first time in his career in a 24-20 loss to the Minnesota Grey Ducks in which he scored another TD and became a central part of the Birddogs’ offensive scheme. Hammerfall then rushed for 117 yards on 28 attempts and three touchdowns vs the Royals in a highlight reel day for both him and the Birddogs in a vital game which changed the momentum of the Birddogs’ season. This was followed by a disappointing week 8 but in week 9 the Hammer came back once again with a career high 141 yards and 2 touchdowns vs the Luchadores. Hammerfall went on to accumulate a league leading 13 regular season rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown for a season total of 16 touchdowns including the playoffs.
After soundly beating the Royals and lifting the Ultimini in his rookie year, Hammerfall commented: “After grinding through the trenches and clawing our way to the top, we've proven that even in the face of adversity, we got that dog in us! Chappy Mcchapperson, you're the conductor of our offensive orchestra, the dude has finesse.. he's a maestro! And to my brothers in arms, Seventh Rounder and Lane Frost III, you've left defenders in the dust like mere shadows in the night sky! Those rookie cornerbacks especially, they puppies.. you got a lotta learn about this league and who them alpha dogs really are! But let's not forget our defensive hounds, led by my boy Dewey Greenbeans and the mighty Huge Yakman, who've guarded our turf with the ferocity of hungry wolves! In the Ultimini, we didn't just win—we brought the power, doggin’ on them boys! Awooooooooooooo!"
