In real life, no, as things such as telepathy are not real. If you are referring to a fictional universe or role-playing game, you need to specify which one.
Empath - comics - was created in 1984.
The Empath was created on 1968-12-06.
An empath (in science fiction) is someone who can supernaturally sense the mental or emotional state of another individual.
An empath is a person who has the ability to understand and share the feelings of others. They have a high degree of empathy and are able to intuitively sense and connect with the emotions and experiences of those around them.
WELL lets start by understanding what a empath is:a empath is a person who can/has the ability to sense the feelings of others like happy or sad and so on and the empath ability is also a sister ability to telepath. now how do you know if you are a empath well if you can truly feel the emotions of your friend like how sad he or she is and the pain he or she truly feels then you are a empath that is what a empath is it is all about the emotions of a human/animal.
Age has nothing to do with ability. Clairvoyance usually needs to be documented over several years to be determined as does telepathy. Empathy like sympathy is usually pretty obvious, most emotional stable humans feel both. Someone with the ability to project emotions is what a telempath is, and again, it takes years of documentation to be sure this is one of your talents
What causes someone to be an empath is not something seen with the naked eye, nor can it be quantitatively or qualitatively measured through traditional scientific investigative methods. The possible answer(s) would be in both objective and subjective observations and both methods are suspect in the scientific community.
