Character Information
Summary
Brandon Schultz is an unmodified troll who was "forced" into retirement from the New York Slashers, Denver Thunderheads, and the Internationaler Stadtskrieg Sport Verein (ISSV), mainly because he followed the team doctors advice to not upgrade with cyberware without first suffering an injury serious enough to warrant replacing meat with metal.
East Coast Dreams
Born at Bethesda Naval Hospital to human parents who served in UCAS Army. Mother eventually received medical discharge due to trauma from the birth. Father retired as an E-5 Staff Sargeant at the first opportunity. The Schultz' lived in Compville, the one bright spot in the Anacostia barrens.
Brandon was the best prospect out of DeeCee in over twenty years, originally signed by the New York Slashers. He was one of the best Bangers the team had ever had, but really shone when lugging the big guns as a Heavy. He was doing well as a rising babyface in the league, but ownership was worried because he was nearing his unaugmented limit.
The Big Apple
The sword is a recent addition (literally due to the picture), as it's not a legal weapon. Brandon responded to an interference attack from a group of runners by disarming a crazed samurai and then turning his rigger-buddy's sedan into a convertible. When they peeked into that sedan later, the rigger was still in shock and the insides were quite filthy, and brown.
Denver Dunderheads
After being frozen out of playing time by the Powers-That-Be in his contract year, Brandon got shopped around the league on the cheap. The Denver Thunderheads picked him up for a baseline salary and told him that the team would being starting the next year in Seattle and asked him to head over there early and scout out possible arenas in the off-season.
Brandon set himself up in Downtown Seattle and started looking around, just like they asked. People were spoken with, drinks were had, and reports were written up on likely sites with tactical notes added. He was ready to bring the Thunder. But they never called. When the League's official site list was released, Seattle wasn't even on it and the Thunderheads were actually starting out in Havana. Still, they never called and his calls to the front office or his league rep weren't returned either.
That's when it really started to sink in. He was done. They killed off his career as silently as a ninja. The money from his last contract was running out fast, but he still had his notes and reports. He pulled out of Downtown as his money ran out and tried to set himself up as an investigator in Redmond. He's looking to get some scouting work whenever the league is back in Seattle, but he's still waiting.

Urban Brawl Primer
Summary
Urban Brawl started out as an alternative method of dispute resolution between French streets gangs. It was a more civilized method of war, if you will. Oddly, it sparked the interest in millions of spectators and now professional teams are sponsored by cities and corporations worldwide. There is one league per continent, administered by a Commissioner.
This comes mainly from the Shadowrun Wikia page with commentary from myself.
Arena
The site for an Urban Brawl match is about a 12 block patch of urban barrens in a roughly 4x3 block grid with a rectangular pattern. The one constant is that the outside border must be open streets all the way around. While not stated, the next most important thing is keeping the roughly rectangular shape.
