Telepathy Link

Telepathy Link is the ability to mentally connect with a child (usually their own). This ability starts in the whom where the forming child will 'reach' for their mother. A link is essential for healthy development of the child. After birth the child will then seek out a link with the father. It's a common ability that is possessed by all Creed's including halfling's. Upon getting older, the child is taught how to close off the link while still keeping it intact.

A child missing this link will always feel like something is missing and won't be as confident or capable as they could have been. It is impossible for form a link after the initial 'reaching' period.

Abilities of Link

 * Location Finding: Parents are able to use this link to pinpoint and locate children should they stray to far from home and in turn, the child can call out for their parents if lost or in danger.
 * Emotion Sensing: Another ability the telepathic link does is grant the parent an insight into a child's feelings. While not mind reading, it does allow them to sense the current feeling at the surface of a child's mind and bases on circumstances enables an educated guess.
 * Sharing Memories: Parents and children can glimpse memories once the child reaches majority and can control their mental abilities, before that time, only the parent can share memories.
 * Easing the Mind: A parent can use their mind to ease that of the child, such as stilling a restless mind and easing a child to calm or fall asleep.

Breaking the Link
While the telepathic link is formed before and after birth, the link can be permanently broken. The link serves as a anchor to a family line and the severing of it is akin to abandoning or casting one out. The link can be broken by both parent and child—usually the parent as the child doesn't understand the link well enough to break it.

Upon breaking a link, the breaker is usually more hostile and vicious while the breakee is sullen and depressed. Neither the child or parent is ever the same after breaking a telepathic link and such an act is permanent.

Halflings
Full-Bloods are connected mentally to both parents. In the case of Halflings, they are only connected mentally to their Creed parent. If the mother is Creed, the link forms the way it would for full-blood Creeds. If the father is Creed, he must be near the unborn child and open his mind for the link when the child starts 'reaching' for its mother so when unable the unborn fetus can latch to his mind instead.

Halflings have stronger links than Full-Bloods as their link is singular to one parent.
