Overview
Yuske is the Priest at Everett's Shinto Temple.
Background
Yuske Inoue is the wealthy priest of a Shinto Temple on the northern outskirts of Everett that is about 1 hectare. On the property is a large family house, and several Shinto Shrine buildings (including a Force 6 Magical Lodge owned by Antidrek). There are rock gardens, but the majority of the property is left as a mini-forest. He and his daughter, Asuna, have lived there so long that the Inoue enclave has become attuned to Shinto magic, and every other day he manages to find a small amount of reagent, which he generally sells along with Charms to trusted friends and shinto worshippers.
Antidrek parents were good friends of Yuske, and made him Antidrek's god father and guardian should anything happen to them. Antidrek and Asuna felt an immediate attraction for each other and became the closest of childhood friends, with that friendship evolving into much more as they both matured. In his pursuit of Asuna, Antidrek showed interest in the Shinto faith - and everything else to do with Asuna. Given his magical talents, Yuske took Antidrek on as an apprentice and they became friend ... Yuske happily let Antidrek and Asuna marry when she turned 18, and she had a daughter, Ravenchan within a year. The four of them now live in the Temple Residence.
Protective Charms
The temple sells Protective Charms, (Omamori or Ofuda), which are actually touch activated Armor, Heal or Mana Static Alchemy Preparations. A Charm is made of a calligraphy inscribed Washi lynchpin, protected from early activation by the Charm's brocade bag exterior.
Yuske is only prepared to sell either Charm to PCs with a loyalty rating of 3 or more (and if the GM approves).
He charges the standard Active skill use nuyen, namely Connection x (Alchemy dice pool / 4) x hours worked x 150 + material components. He charges a minimum 10 minutes to make a charm. This means a Potency 2 Armor Charm (which requires no reagents) will have a base price of 4 x ((8/4) x 1/6 x 150) = 200 nuyen. He is prepared to reuse a brocade bag previously bought from her, but a new one costs 50 nuyen. Thus the first Omamori base price is 250 nuyen. If he ends up taking (physical) drain from making an Omamori, he expects compensation of 100 nuyen per point of damage suffered, and is highly reluctant to make higher than potency 2 charms, even if reagents are provided.
