Dare I continue to delve into the minds of these wondrous beings? Well, I will, though I may mess up entirely...
Remember, I don't own these ladies, gentlemen, and monsters, none of all, but don't truly care to try changing that as I would be mowed down in the crowd.
~~Doomtrain~~
I am not the easiest to cohabitate with. My very existence is a danger to those around me. Most fear me, with good reason. I have never expected any to not feel fear regarding me.

Doomtrain's presence in the mortal realm was anchored by a ring. Whoever had the ring could call upon her, providing they were prepared. In all honesty she had never truly wanted to be called, so she did not make it simple to activate the ring.

~~Odin~~
Doomtrain understands the need for safety. She is among the few who do. It may partially stem from the fact that she is such a weapon against it. Very few humans have been foolish enough to even try to call her. Those that had done so immediately regretted it. Those ignoble fools called for aid, and then cowered before the provider. She is, however, more forgiving than I, and returns to the ring that binds her when they prove unworthy.
~~--~~
Even when called, Doomtrain refused to test her potential symbiotic partners. She felt that merely allowing her to attach to their minds was test enough, as so few actually could. Usually even those who could call her refused to let her remain awake.
But, as things go, there was an exception to the rule.

~~Gilgamesh~~
Doomtrain is one of the few who is called upon. The rest of us claim points as temporary homes, or wander the planet. It takes incredible patience to wait for the mortals. It takes even more forgiveness to return when they prove cowards. But she manages.
~~--~~
Doomtrain was surprised, as always, when someone used the ring that tied her to the human realm. She responded to the call, as she always did, and fully expected to be returned. But they stood as she arrived, and didn't even flinch. They merely looked up at her, and the other Guardians reacted with varying measures of astonishment. Two of the three young humans were slightly queasy but the third, a brown haired youth, just stood. He blinked and Doomtrain felt a quiet brush against her existence, asking if she would provide aid for their mission. She agreed, relieved that finally, someone was willing to take her on.
Squall used the ring that they'd found, and felt a quasi-liquid presence rush through his very self. The others squirmed in discomfort, and then the Guardian appeared. She looked like a train, one with a skeleton for the engine car. Squall sensed that she felt she was going to be returned to the ring but Squall almost immediately asked for her help. With a sense of relief that Squall could feel even unjunctioned, she complied.
Even though she felt like a large cluster of Bios and Meltdowns, Squall stood still, because even Bios and Meltdowns had to wear off at some point, and eventually the feeling wore off. When it did, it was replaced by a feeling not much unlike a pet cuddling up to you... Not that Squall really knew what that felt like, but he guessed it would.

~~Doomtrain~~
I was amazed when the boy only just barely flinched as I joined the others in his mind. They flinched more, and they've known me longer. Then the unruly thought of being a pet popped into both our consciousnesses, and we both ignored it.

I got back to playing the game recently so, I can detail a few of the summons more accurately. I also know whom I actually matched up with whom at the end of the game, and I guess I didn't have Irvine at the end after all...
