I really like The Pariah.
I move quick: I'm gonna try my trick one last time--
you know it's possible to vaguely define my outline
when dust move in the sunshine

The Petulant?
The Plagued?

The Pariah is neat too.

@S_H: In its current incarnation, yes, it is difficult to take seriously. It might even be an unchangeable fact that this will be silly no matter what. But as you said, it is an interesting concept, and I'd like to see where I can take it.
Worshipping language after all hardly seems silly, as it is seen by many as one of the defining and most important features of humanity; a mutable, unpredictable and all-encompassing god and the root of empathy, society and knowledge. Letters, being the natural symbols of language, would seem something divine as well by this logic. The problem is when you start applying antropomorphic ideas to them...
And Pariah is definitely a good word, but what would his gift be?
