Mary Kate "EmKay" Bless

undefinedMary Kate Bless is a Corsari woman who was born on Corsair but moved to Aegis to take part in Squad Mates. While there are Squad Mates arenas on all planets in the core worlds and beyond in the Dragon Protectorate, once she was scouted by the Bonded Fates she moved. Mary Kate is the grand daughter of Sabrina Bless, a general in the Corsari military.

Mary Kate herself didn't really have much interest in being a soldier however she joined Squad Mates like many others; to prepare for future wars. Mary Kate looks more in line with what you would see on a college campus sorority than on a Squad Mates field. To that end she's a sharpshooter that is most often sitting in a bunker or an outcropping somewhere picking HVTs off for her team. One can usually find her at some kind of personal care shop after matches once she gets paid.
