Innocence is central to our being. The loss of innocence is an experience almost everyone can identify with. Commonly, it is associated with the awareness gained when transitioning to adulthood. However, it can also represent expanding cultural awareness. For instance, Galileo's discovery that the earth revolves around the sun and the subsequent realization that not only are we not the center of the universe, we are a speck in a speck in a speck. For this reason I think a God of innocence lost would be a fascinating project.
Perhaps the idea that this god has manifested on earth only when all innocence has gone. I also am moving toward the idea of a benevolent god. Perhaps one led or accompanied by a child. Possibly the idea that this god has returned to earth to protect the final innocent. The difficulty being physically protecting this innocent from harm without exposing it to situations that would remove the child's innocence.
This could be a fun idea to play around with.
