Not quite what I was thinking, but I suppose that should still work alright.

Suggestions for your particular scenario:

BE God is kind of an assist. Toggled on/off during battle, but costs RESOURCE_X if available. A certain amount of RESOURCE_X is saved for emergencies (such as Cedylle falling in battle), but as progression increases, RESOURCE_X costs decrease.
Since BE God is an assist, there would be no need for him to have some set of equipment to keep track of, unlike Cedylle.
If Cedylle falls in battle. BE God is automatically toggled on and uses emergency-held RESOURCE_X to transport her to the nearest shrine for both he and her to recover. Shrines are the "Trauma Inns" of this game.

Also, a better view would be to think of the player as controlling the two characters rather than being them. That way, as a programmer, you wouldn't have to give a shit which one they players view themselves as and you'd free yourself from the complications involved.
