1. Please indicate the name and Japanese translation for the kekkei genkai or kekkei tōta you wish to create.
 * Qilin's Horn (Romaji: Kirin no Tsuno; Kanji: 麒麟の角)

2. If it is an elemental kekkei genkai or a kekkei tōta, indicate which elements it is composed of. If it is not an elemental kekkei genkai, however, you may simply indicate so below.
 * Not elemental in nature.

3. Briefly summarize its capabilities and abilities. Use as much detail as possible in this process.
 * Just as its name implies, the Qilin's Horn takes the appearance of a horn or a number of horns. It's a sensory organ that functions in a manner that is reminiscent of the antenna of a radio. It can convert its bearer's chakra into radio waves and vice versa. This allows the bearer to detect anything with a physical presence from an enormous distance, take perfect measurements of substances and their constituents through the utilization of the aforementioned detection, and convert the radio waves emitted by lightning and or astronomical objects as a means of refueling his or her reserve of chakra. Also, the Qilin's Horn ability to take perfect measurements allows it to be used to mimic jutsu by measuring the chakra structure of a jutsu and then using the measurements as a guide for the replication of the jutsu. Though it should be noted that Kekkei Genkai are incapable of being mimicked due to the fact that the Qilin's Horn doesn't grant its bearer any of the prerequisites that are needed to utilize a jutsu. The bearer must already have the prerequisite or he or she will simply be incapable of performing the jutsu.

4. What are its weakness? Briefly summarize each below.
 * First and foremost, the Qilin's Horn has a natural weakness to the Lightning Release. Lightning Release produces radio waves that'll disrupt the radio waves being emitted by the Qilin's Horn. Meaning that a continuous Lightning Release can jam the Qilin's Horn's sensory capabilities. Lightning Release can also be used to produce enough radio waves to throw the Qilin's Horn into a sensory overload. This will prevent the Qilin's Horn from functioning with any amount of correctness for ten minutes at the very LEAST. Though it should be noted that it'd take an S-Rank Lightning Release to cause a sensory overload from a large distance, an A-Rank Lightning Release to cause a sensory overload from a short distance, and only a B-Rank Lightning Release to cause a sensory overloard through direct contact. However, Lightning Release of C-Rank or lower have little to no chance of causing a sensory overload unless they're spammed en masse or something. Second; if the Qilin's Horn is damage, its efficiency will drop in direct proportion to the amount of damage it has sustained. Though a Qilin's Horn can regenerate as long as the roots in the head aren't destroyed, it'll usually take months for that to occur or even years if the damage is great enough. Last but not least, using the Qilin's Horn takes extreme concentration. As a result, it's impossible to mold chakra and use the Qilin's Horn for long-distance detection at the same time. This means that a bearer of the Qilin's Horn must chose to between long-range detecition or casting a jutsu. The bearer can not do both at the same time without some kind of assistance.

5. Is your kekkei genkai/tōta clan specific? Which clan wields it? How can they awaken it, or does it appear in all members regardless?
 * Doshun's wife, Chiyome, is the first to exhibit the Qilin's Horn. All of Doshun's four children were born with the Qilin's Horn as well, but they're identical quadruplets so in-story it's unknown if it'll appear in all of Chiyome's descendents or only a few of them. Out-of-story, the fact is that it'll only appear when more dominant Kekkei Genkai aren't present. It can appear alongside the Sharingan because of the Sharingan's dormant nature, but it wont appear alongside the Byakugan because the Byakugan possesses extreme dominance that'll oust it from production. Though I do plan on Chiyome and Doshun starting a clan named the Kouga Clan because I've always wanted to write the foundation of a clan. For obvious reasons, only Chiyome and her children will have the Qilin's Horn though.
