Update to this:
I'm thinking about having three or four god siblings, so definitely looking for others that are interested!
In an effort to use up some of my pets that I would like to keep, but haven't established any characters for, I decided on this. I came up with a vague character idea, although it generally involves them needing a lifemate, but instead of pinning it to a specific pet, I have a list of pets which may potentially be used for the character. The species of his mate dictates his own species.
There is also a possibility that I will have more than one god character, which functions the same way, but obviously has their own personality. I may even end up coming up with a female god, so please indicate gender preference! (Although, I definitely want a male god before a female god, because I seriously need a few more male characters.)
Details:
Character is male, currently nameless (since I'll choose a name I feel suits the pet and character), and he is pansexual. Any gender, gender identity, or lack-there-of, he doesn't care.
He is strong, but would not be considered a super high level god (that is, he would not be like... the one true god of a religion), and his current strength depends on a few factors, regardless of how much power he could potentially have.
His survival depends on physical affections from other creatures, usually humans. Hugs give him very small amounts of energy, kisses just a little more, aaaand so on. If he does not receive energy from other creatures, or even not enough of it, he will revert out of human form, and then fade away and die.
When he chooses to take on a permanent mate, it is something he can only do once, allowing them to drink his blood, but it comes with the danger of only ever being able to receive energy from them. When they drink his blood, they will slowly become a being quite similar to him, although it depends on how much they exchange. That is, the more energy he receives from them, the more they receive from him, and the more like him they become. Simply drinking his blood extends their lifespan some and increases their body's regeneration, making it so that they heal very quickly and they can survive damage that would otherwise kill them.
A few ideas:
The scenario of how he meets his mate is what's up in the air. I have a few potential ideas, but other ideas are definitely welcome!
When his mate was younger, they ended up in some sort of accident that would have killed them, but out of sympathy, he saves them by having them drink their blood. From that point on, unknowingly, he is forced to visit them while they sleep for secret hugs and even kisses, once they're a bit older, in order to just barely stay alive. As a young adult, perhaps they wake up when he visits them and are basically spirited away. Or whatever happens.
Another scenario could be something similar happening when the mate is already an adult, where they end up in an accident, and he happens to save them. He'd be more direct, though, afterwards about what it entails. (Although it could also have him sneaking around at first. Just imagine if that person already had someone trying to date them? Oh boy. God boy would be so, "Don't touch my mate.")
Possibly meeting his mate when they were younger, under some circumstance, and they liked him, so he promised to marry them when they were older.
Those were the first ideas that came to mind, but, yeah, totally up for anything.
