Are aesthetics truly so important? I would think one would be more concerned about a person's motives and trustworthiness than whether or not they are physically pleasing to the naked eye.
In my own personal opinion, if there are indeed sentient beings at work behind the scenes, I do predict there is some level of intention behind their actions, yet it need not be so complex. In the case of what you call "gods", they would generally favor those with exceptionally strong faith, those whose values and beliefs match their own, or those who could be easily molded and tempered into their service as a devoted follower.
