Berlioz. He is the most feared LINX to prowl the surface of the Earth. He is NO.1 of the fourty other LINXs to take part in the LINX war, and also one of the twenty-six LINXs to fight after being in the National Dismatalent war. Any LINX to come back from a war, and fight in a future one is known as an origanal. Berlioz will usualy travel in a small squad consisting of three other origanals: Red Cap, Halarios, and Rough Cut. But even without his allies at his side, Berlioz was still known to dominate any challenge to come in his path. But all of this could leave you pondering one very important question: How does he do such a thing and live to fight again? Well, a major part of this questions answer lies in Berlioz's armored core, the Supplice. The Supplice's base design was origanaly manufactured by a large company in Armored Core 4 called Rayleonard, but Berlioz took his abilities to extremes as he was having the Supplice built by acualy purchasing parts from the five other main companies as well as minor companies to make his armored core the ultimate fighting warrior. And acording to the description above, he did just that. His weapons will be discribed below, along with a few extra parts.

This is the assault rifle mentioned in chapter two, when Berlioz encounters the wandering hydra in the Everfree forest. The 'special camera' also mentioned is a part of the large scope at the top of the back of the rifle. This rifle has a high rate of fire (in the trailer for the game and every where else other than the acual game... irony), but not as much as the 03-MOTERCOBRA which is a SMG class weapon. Its sleek paneling allows any rounds not reflected by primal armor to only skim and bounce off the surface, and the large angular part below the barel is where all the bullets are stored for long, long use before running out of ammo. Each high-velocity bullet in the gun is packed with a compact radioactive cartridge that makes the bullet voilently explode on impact with no radioactive contamination, making this one of the most powerful weapons on the market. This is the weapon wielded in the Supplice's left hand.

An extreamly acurate, high-velocity rifle. This rifle was origanaly based off of all the other marksman rifles curently being used. A prototype scope seen on the front-top of the rifle, is equiped with a special range finder and foucus along with a camera as well, changes the speed of each bullet shot depending on distange of the target and how fast its moving away or closer to ensure the most damage possible is done. A slightly slower rate of fire also helps to enhance acuacy. Each round from this gun is fit with a holo-point based, and powerfuly armor-piercing bullet to allow the Supplice to use this gun with the 04-MARVE and fight off any challenge faced. The less angular plating on the gun is made of a different element to keep damage done to the weapon at a minimum, but make the weapon very mobile and agile. A large bullet storage area is located on the bottom of the body to enhance mission time as well as the other weapon. This weapon is held in the Supplice's right hand and is also seen in the cover art.

This is the OGOTO. The OGOTO is an extremely long-rang howitzer cannon used as heavy artilery. Each shell is jam-packed with high-explosive devices that make a massive crater after an impact to wipe out large packs of enemies or to cause massive damage to a single target. One property about the OGOTO that makes it a feared weapon is its ability to penetrate a target's main body/hull before detonating, literalty annihilating the target from the inside out. To deploy, the large rod, the barrel, unfolds down over the large opening just under the middle of the body, then the interior barrel rams into the fold-down barrel to lock it. To acuratly fire the OGOTO after deployment, the armored core it's mounted on must lower its stance slightly to avoid being knocked back by the tremendous recoil. The two angled box like parts on the back-sides are the Shell compartments. The OGOTO is able to hold a suprisingly large amout of shells, 30 to be exact. Fifteen per side. The OGOTO cannon is mounted on the Supplice's back-right.

This odd looking device, in the game, are flare launchers. In the game trailer, and in the story, they are powerful missile launchers. How it works is the front and back both open up outwards until they are about 90 degrees with the main structure and the main structure, alone with the other two parts, rotates forward (the direction the armored core is facing) so it looks like an E without the top and bottom lines. The missiles fire out of the top and bottom parts and can seek on muiltiple targets or just one foe. After the missiles are launched, the whole thing folds back up so it looks like the picture above. These missile launchers are mounted on the Supplice's left and right shoulders, see the game trailer for a demo.

The last part I wnat to show is this special head. All those red dots on the head are eyes. The muiltiple eyes covering the front and side of the head offer exelent vision which is a major part of jetting a job done well.  *Just a quick note before I continue: There is not a lot to say about this head, so don't expect a paragraph a big as the ones above.* In a part of the acual chapter two, you read when the Supplice foucus in on Luna and what the eyes do when magnifying and foucusing. If you want to see the head with its foucused vision and how it looks around with the foucused vision, see the game trailer, there are a few really good demos.
