It is. ^^

Since living inversics can be counted on one hand, nobody even knows any actually exist, outside of those in the know. Inversics is taught in psychic schools though, and to the Shepherds. However, it's effectively a myth to the public, and just a theory to Psionologists not in the know.

The only living inversics have generally been bad people, or turned out bad, so it's put a nasty taste in the air about inversics. Inti Qon is treated with suspicion and an untrusting gaze by the other awakened, and they sometimes pile her in with Nita and Sakkame. It gets bad enough that some of them don't even listen to her, or trust her, at all.

The psychena, after Scrios, are terrified of inversics. Mentioning inversics to a psychena is kind of a taboo, like mentioning voldemort in the Harry Potter series.

It's hard to say how the public of Earth, other planets, or the Ae'ani, would react to a living inversic though, since they've never knowingly met one. ^^
