Clan Name: Karisuma Clan
Location: Scattered (Mainly Suna)
Specialization: N/A
Elements: N/A
The clan was started a meager 15 generations ago by Iki Karisuma, a noble lord who on his private land near Sunagakure was renown for a bountiful harem and the totalitarian rule that he kept on his vast servant population. The clans men and women became renowned for their fox featured faces, blond hair, blue eyes and traditionally beautiful visage, as they quickly became known to be called the glass jewels of the sands. As Iki's life went on, his influence over his children and the remainder of the clan corrupted the noble stature of his people, making them become vain and shallow as time went on. They began selling their own sons and daughters who did not keep to their standard into slavery and the sex trade, using them for marital alliances, paying debts and even gambling them away as time went on, keeping the core lone of the family 'pure' and only wedding and bearing children with the most beautiful women from surrounding nations. However, as dark acts stained the souls of the members of the clan, the life and light in their eyes, maintained through happiness and innocence, died under the weight of their sins...
And it didn't go unnoticed.
It quickly became a scandal, Iki's children believed their only flaw to be their dull and lifeless eyes so they hired an assortment of mystics, ninja and sages from across the land to set up a jutsu to change the horrific stain on their perfect self image. The family expended a vast fortune, calling in all the debts and favors that they had accumulated over the decades in order to transfigure this weakness into a blessing, after such a hit to their reputation, the eyes they attained could not simply be good, or great, they had to be stunning... But, time and time again the attempts failed to live up to their expectations, leading into illegal organ trade, and even in some extreme cases, Iki's daughter tore the eyes from a maiden whose eyes seemed fairer than her own, yet nothing seemed to kill the curse of the family, as any other eye quickly had the life fade from it, continuing their curse.
That was until Iki himself, now an older man developed in secret a doujutsu, having taken genetic material from prime genetic stock and infusing it with DNA from a mysterious red eye. It was his goal to change his eyes permanently, and those of his descendants. Completing his dark and depraved experiements, he integrated the eyes into his eldest son in such a manner that not only would it perminantly change his eyes, but, that his body would acclimatize to the eyes, accepting them and altering its DNA in such a manner that it was as if they were 'always' his eyes. The result was dazzling and equally permanent. Iki had 'created' a Doujutsu that would be passed from generation to generation. The eye was like staring into the brightest and most brilliant jewel of their eye's respective colour, so beautiful it was, that it stunned those who gazed upon it in awe.
And so it was named.
Over time, the addition of outsiders into the clan and after the deaths of Iki and his children, the clan began to dilute the shallowness, the vanity and the dark history the clan was known for yet the doujutsu remained. Be it a weapon or a blessing it could in an instant within sight of the sparkling eyes that captivate men and women alike. With generations passing by and more sons and daughters becoming shinobi it became useful in battle stunning their opponents for mere seconds with their beauty. However, the clan never quite rid itself of the expansive slave trade network that had been born from the age of the clan's progenitors. Using the trade and the connections that had been forged in order to finance their ambitions, the shade that had been cast by their empire attracted the attention of Mitsuo, leading to a cataclysm that almost ended the clan once and for all...
Attempting to fight off the long Sanin on a rampage the clan did its best to hold the sword saint of konoha at the gates, but to no avail, one by one they fell, leaving nothing but ash in their wake. The attack left the manor and grounds around it barren and desolate, as well as their criminal empire in tatters, opening the gates for others within Suna to flood the market with slaves and crime to fill the void that opened up. Some of the only remaining members of the Karisuma clan now, are those who were sold into slavery by their family, possessing the coveted eyes, but not potentially the perfect physique that the clan had subscribed to, creating a painful irony that only those who had performed the ill deeds to be killed by the hands of the ninja that night. The event left the clan scattered and without a home, none of them wishing to rebuild it in fear that it would awaken the seemingly dark nature lurking deep within the hearts of the clan.
Instead many members of the Karisuma clan look for a means to make their own fortune and follow their own ambitions, whether it be to rebuild the name and reputation of the long fallen house of Karisuma, or whether it be to live to their own merits and simply search for happiness within their broken world. However with the Stunning eyes at their disposal, known now as one of the great Doujutsu of the ninja world, there is seemingly nothing that the members of the clan aren't equipped to handle in one way or another. And so eye eyes of the world watch for what will become of them, whether they will be swept under the rug as dust on the mantle of history, or rise to become the jewels of Sunagakure once again.

Kekkei Genkai Name: The Stunning Eyes.
Kekkei Genkai Description: The Karisuma clan are the bearers of the semi-legendary eyes known as the stunning Eyes, Titled as a double-entente for their dazzling looks as well as their function of stunning those who look upon them in awe. Upon activation, the users eyes turn into a beautiful, brighter, sparkling and shining version of whatever colour they are naturally, much like their eyes turning into bio-luminescent crystals... causing those who look at them to become stunned or heavily encumbered by the effects of the eye. The eye works by triggering the victim's emotional response on a chemical level flushing the body with Dopamine, Oxytocin and Serotonin on sight to such a level it can leave a victim paralyzed with awe. The exact effects of this vary, depending on the rank of the doujutsu its power and range are subject to change.
- D Rank: -5 Chakra per Turn
The first rank of the stunning eyes available to all Karisuma clan members at Genin; Opponents who see the Stunning Eye of the Karisuma within 10m while the stunning eyes are active at this level have their reaction speed reduced by -1 for 2 posts. (Opponents are immune to any subsequent eye contact)- C Rank: -10 Chakra per Turn
The Second rank of the stunning eyes available to Karisuma clan members at Chunin, requiring a 1000 word training thread and 500 ryo to awaken to this stage; Opponents who see the Stunning Eye of the Karisuma within 15m while the stunning eyes are active at this level become paralyzed for a single turn, and have their reaction speed reduced by -1 for 3 posts afterwards. (Subsequent eye contact does not paralyze but instead restarts the turn count of the debuff.)- B Rank: -15 Chakra per Turn
The Third rank of the stunning eyes available to Karisuma clan members at Sp. Jounin, requiring a 1500 word training thread and 750 ryo to awaken to this stage; Opponents who see the Stunning Eye of the Karisuma within 15m while the stunning eyes are active at this level are stunned for a single turn and have their reaction speed reduced by -2 for 3 posts afterwards.

Drawbacks:
- Fragile Beauty: The Stunning eyes takes a toll on its user however, while it is activated and in use it quickly begins to dry out and strain their eyes, potentially causing the iris of the eye to crack. This fissure causes immense pain to the user and temporary blindness. If the effect of the eyes is maintained for more than 4 posts, they will crack on the fifth, blinding the user for the remainder of the thread, or until they are healed by a B rank healing technique.
- Socially Advantaged: It's said that good looks pay off, and that is true, but they also have a harsher side to them. Karisuma often find they get what they want a lot easier than others, building up bad habits where their concept of hard work, falls somewhat short of their peers. As Such, Karisuma cannot learn a fourth Element or Specialization.
- Visual Addiction: Those who have seen the Stunning Eyes and lived to tell the tale are undoubtedly marked by the experience. As the eyes trick the brain into thinking its experienced the absolute height of all beauty, such an experience can give even enemies fervor. People who see the stunning eyes while active more than once become marked by them, adding 'Marked by Karisuma' to the top of their Jutsu list and temporarily gain the 'strong willed' positive SC when fighting those they know to be Karisuma or have the stunning eyes in the future. Opponents with strong willed also have any debuff caused by the stunning eye reduced by -1 tier.
