Literomancer
In this story, a literomancer can tell people's fortunes based on the characters in their names and the characters they pick.
"The Chinese invented writing as an aid to divination, so Chinese characters always had a deep magic to them. From characters, I can tell what's bothering people and what lies in their past and future."
