Name: Suihou
Founder: Shiorin Suihou
Location: The Village in the Hidden Waterfalls
History: The Suihou Clan doesn't have much of a history, as any archived details were incinerated in the Decimation of the Waterfall. What knowledge there is of the clan was pieced together from word-of-mouth accounts by a remaining clan member.
The Suihou Clan is deeply rooted in Takigakure. The clan originally didn't have much of a name for itself until a shinobi by the name of Shiorin Suihou first expressed their Doujutsu, the Aiirogan. This happened somewhere around a couple centuries prior to present day. The Aiirogan was used to fight in battles against other Villages such as Konohagakure, where it was very effective in defending against the Sharingan, Byakugan, and other such doujutsus.
As the Suihou clan grew in fame in the Village in the Hidden Waterfalls, it also grew closer to the Daimyo of the Waterfall Country. Shiorin became an advisor to the higher-ups in government, and the overall family began to rise in economic status. Still, even with the large opportunity for wealth open to them, most members stayed with the tradition of becoming shinobi, which has been passed down to the current era. The Suihou bloodline has been highly diluted over the years, but the Kekkei Genkai remained relatively persistent, usually signifying those with closest relation to the original family tree.
As of today, it is unknown if any of the Suihou clan made it through the catastrophy in Takigakure. Awamaru is the only recorded living member that still bears the Suihou name, as well as the only recorded possessor of the Aiirogan. Anyone else that may have descended from the family probably strayed too far from the clan genetically to bear the name or awaken the Kekkei Genkai.
Special Info: The Suihou Clan is synonymous with the color blue; all members have blue eyes and hair, although the exact shade for either is always up in the air. Like the rest of Takigakure, most members have an affinity for Water Ninjutsu. Overall chakra control is above average, even in those with large pools to draw from. Suihou-specific techniques, such as those part of the Aiirogan Doujutsu, are outlined below.
Requirements: Birth or marriage into the clan. (Sorry, but I'm keeping this clan to myself for the time being.

Type of Kekkei Genkai: Doujutsu; Defensive, Supplementary
Rank: E-S, depending on the situation
Description:
The Suihou Clan's Doujutsu, the Aiirogan ("Indigo Eye" - Named so because of the softly-glowing indigo color the iris takes on when in use), has a fairly hazy geneology. It shares quite a few traits with other known Doujutsu, but whether or not it is related still remains a mystery. The main link that has been recognized, and the first of two abilities the Aiirogan gives, is the ability to shift the user's eyesight out of the usual visual light range, and into an "Aura Sight". In this state, the spectrum of visual light usually seen by human eyes is dampened, leaving them in almost complete darkness (OOC: Think Link's Wolf Senses from LoZ: Twilight Princess). However, to compensate, the user is able to detect the natural chakra emanating from living things (in the form of an aura), and the naturally occurring elemental chakra in the world around them. The aura around lifeforms shows an overall glow to their chakra output: most are light blue, however excessive amounts of other chakra could change this (such as curse seal chakra, or demon chakra). As for the natural elemental chakra, it takes the form of free-floating chakra in the world around the user, color-coded for convenience: Earth is yellow, Water is blue (darker than normal chakra), Fire is reddish-orange, Wind is green, and Lightning is light purple. For example, if one were in a volcano, an area naturally filled with fire and earth chakra, one using Aura Sight would see the glow of those chakras all around them. For this reason, if the user is in an area dense with chakra, it may be hard to see while using Aura Sight (as if in a glowing fog), rendering the ability moot.
As for the second ability, this is where the Suihou's Doujutsu is unique; it's the area where it really shines in combat, though normally in very specific situations. The Aiirogan can erect a spherical field around the user in which any other Doujutsu (besides the Aiirogan, of course) is suppressed, causing it and any other effects caused by it to be canceled inside the bubble. When in use, this manifests itself as the entire eye slightly glowing chakra-blue. As previously stated, this is very specific to Doujutsus; normal Bloodline Limits go unaffected. The field itself costs a negligible amount of chakra; however, once a Doujutsu is inside the field, it costs chakra to keep suppressed. If an Uchiha Genin's one-tomoe Sharingan, for example, were to be present inside of a Suihou Genin's cancellation field, it wouldn't be hard to shut down (it would still be pulling chakra, but at a reasonable rate). However, if, say... A Mangekyou Sharingan user were to be present inside the same Suihou's field, the sheer amount of chakra used to suppress it would deplete the user's chakra almost instantaneously. Luckily, the control over the depletion rate and effectiveness of the cancellation scales with the ninja's training. As an Aiirogan user ranks up, so does their ability to suppress Doujutsus of their level and above. Only an elite Suihou Clan member can truly suppress Doujutsus without consequence. As well, the radius of the sphere of cancellation can also be increased through training. Typically, a Genin can have a comfortable field with a radius of 10 meters. This means that someone attacking with long range Jutsus can still effectively use their Doujutsu, as they are outside of the field. Like the effectiveness of the cancellation, the rank of the Suihou Ninja is a good indicator of their range. The radius increases by about 5 meters every rank; Genin start at 10 meters of course, then it's 15 for a Chuunin, 20 for a Jounin, 25 for an Elite Jounin, and 30+ for someone on par with Kage level.
There is a third ability, but it is subtle and passive, and therefore not counted as a technique. Along with the ability to see a person's aura comes a slight clairvoyance and empathy, usually in the form of "vibes". A Suihou member with the Aiirogan can receive a small feeling about the emotions of people around them (provided their emotions are strong enough, or that they think "loud" enough), although this is so slight most users go about their lives without even noticing it. The ability can be seen as a boosted "gut feeling", and can help with decision-making and understanding of other people. There are a few rare exceptions where the clairvoyance has presented itself very strongly, causing full-blown hearing of thoughts. For instance, an old Suihou legend says that an Aiirogan user that happened to be staying in the Leaf Village was driven insane by loud voices in his head around a certain pink-haired Kunoichi; whether the story is fact or fiction is still unknown.
Jutsu:
Name of Jutsu: Doujutsu Sakujo - Doujutsu Cancel
Rank: S (Required due to the risk of harming oneself due to chakra exhaustion, which should not be a problem if used responsibly)
User(s): Shinobi that have awakened the Aiirogan
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Clan: Suihou
Elemental Affinity: None
Description: When activated, a field is created around the user that completely suppresses all Doujutsu (besides the Aiirogan) within the sphere of effect. While the field doesn't take concentration to keep up, it costs chakra from the user proportionate to the skill level and quantity of Doujutsus within the field. The higher the resistance the opposing Doujutsu has, the more chakra it pulls from the user to suppress it, meaning the user must be wary of his opponents' skill level, or else risk chakra exhaustion.
Name of Jutsu: Hadoukakeru - Wavedash
Rank: D
User(s): Shinobi that have awakened the Aiirogan
Type of Jutsu: Ninjutsu
Clan: Suihou
Elemental Affinity: None
Description: Using the Aiirogan to better sense the natural chakra around them, the user manipulates the chakra in their feet to move quickly and fluently across the ground or water, almost making a gliding or skating effect. The Aiirogan is needed to properly sense the dynamic natural chakra, as it's much harder than matching the static surface of water or a tree.
Clan Traits:
Chakra Control:Rank: CThese users have excellent chakra control, which means they waste little chakra in battle. People with excellent chakra control usually have average or below average chakra. Since the amount of chakra is smaller, it is easier to master control over it. People with this skill are like, Itachi, Kakakshi and Orochimaru.
