The Tavern

Born in the rolling highland meadows of the Centaur Clans, Yolandachu was marked from birth as different — stronger, faster, and more resilient than her kin. While others trained with bow & spear, she gravitated toward traveling monks, fascinated by their mastery of body & mind. Leaving her clan as a young adult, she trained in a mountain monastery, blending her natural might with disciplined martial artistry. Her years of training forged her into a living weapon — and a protector. She became infamous in the border towns for dismantling slaver rings, breaking gang wars, and humiliating bullies in public duels. Her fighting style is as much performance as power: suplexes that shake the earth, lariats that flatten ogres & a battle cry that makes giants hesitate.

Ro Anders is a burly 5'10" dark-skinned man with an afro and a mustache. Yo is his female counterpart: a 5'8" dark-skinned woman with an extreme hourglass figure and long, shaggy hair, objectively beautiful. She began as a second body Ro could move and feel through. Then she woke up as her own person, built from his entire personality but more confident, clever, skilled and violent, and unconditionally loyal to him. They share senses, emotions, thoughts and experiences, and their minds are open books to each other. When one is hurt, the other takes 50% of the damage. When one is sick, the other gets the effects at half intensity. They can still act as one person in perfect unison if they choose, but now they are genuinely two minds. Ro is the main character: steady, merciful to anyone who truly earns it, and soft only with Yo. Yo is his bodyguard and a raunchy, rude joke at the same time. She isn’t a bully, but she can be a total bitch to anyone who isn’t Ro, and she trash-talks enemies while rattling their brains with punches. What she cherishes more than that is Ro’s tenderness and neediness when he seeks comfort from her. Back when she was only a body, he used her for comfort and sanctuary, and she remembers every nuzzle and every tear. She revels in giving that comfort and feels it herself through the link. Publicly they pass as twins, and Ro sometimes pretends Yo is his girlfriend to blend in.
