ATeam-Inactive

__SLEDGE__ Eventually, Sledge decided that the real money was in Shadowrunning and quit the bloodsport arena, becoming freelance muscle for hire. He received several well-paying jobs, but the most notable was one from a Renraku Johnson who wanted a team of runners to collect data from the NASAT Corporation regarding their genetic manipulation of food crops. NASAT claimed to hold the cure for world hunger with its new research, and Renraku wanted to know their secrets. The runners posed as members of the International Press and infiltrated a remote R&D Facility/Vacation Resort on NASAT Island in the Caribbean League. Something went wrong in one of the research labs, and an explosion released a toxin that reanimated the dead. The epidemic spread quickly, and the NASAT Island Resort became a blood-bath. Only three of Sledge's five-man team survived, and a company of UCAS Marines answered the distress call from the island, nuking it and the mysteries it contained into oblivion. Three years later, fate would find him in a bar room brawl where he attracted the attention of one "Two-Ton" Tony. The A-Team member extended an offer for Sledge to join the Shadowrunning group, which the wandering street fighter readily accepted... Sledge is a master of all things melee-combat; if it can be wielded, thrown, lifted, or swung -- he can beat someone with it. Though he does hold a rudimentary knowledge of firearms and their use, he prefers to keep it at fisticuffs, always going toe-to-toe with his adversaries. An all-round nice guy, Sledge is a loyal companion with a real friendly personality. It's rare that he loses his temper, and his ability to keep a cool head in the heat of a fight is a valuable asset to the A-Team. His favorite weapon remains a large war hammer with which he has brained many a foe.

 * Bio:** Growing up in a middle-class household in Renton, Scott McGowan was raised by the trideo. His parents neglected him, and used the entertainment medium as a babysitter. Coincidentally, Scott loved Kung Fu trid programs and sims, and from a young age he'd always try to imitate the cool action moves of his martial arts heroes. He was constantly in trouble for his outbursts at school, scrapped with other kids on the streets, and took to drop-kicking the cat at home. When he was 14 puberty set in, and with it came his awakening; his magical abilities expressing themselves in a foreseeably violent manner. Scott dropped out of high school his junior year and ran with a few groups of troublemakers, earning the nickname of 'Sledge' from his consistent use of hammers as weaponry. Eventually his bar-fighting skills caught the attention of 'Doc', the magical healer and underground fight promoter. The old man offered to represent the kid in the pit-fighting circuits, and from there began to throw out scraps of body-guarding work and collection jobs.
