## History

Andrew Ballard was the culprit who kidnapped Sara Payton, the daughter of Kevin and Illiana Payton. Influenced by Vein, he kidnaps Tara and threatens the Payton family.

## Personality

Andrew Ballard is an extremely cruel and deranged individual. Immediately after committing the heinous act of taking a life of a young child, he shamelessly participates in a game, deriving joy from reliving and recounting his own crimes.

**Entry Form** (エントリーフォーム, *Entorī Fōmu*), also known as **Entry Raise Form** (エントリーレイズフォーム, *Entorī Reizu Fōmu*), is Murcielago's base suit, accessed through the sole usage of the Burari Core ID.

Entry Form consists of the following parts:

* **Murcielago Head** (ブラーリヘッド, *Burāri Heddo*): The head.
	+ **Murcielago Crest Gear** (ブラーリクレストギア, *Burāri Kuresuto Gia*): The head-mounted device. It expands the player's head functions and protects the head with lightweight yet extremely strong composite armor. With a shape that symbolizes the Rider's crest on the ID Core, it also functions as a visual aid to increase Burari's visibility.
	+ **Murcielago Ear** (ブラーリイヤー, *Burāri Iyā*): The ears.
	+ **Murcielago Eye** (ブラーリアイ, *Burāri Ai*): The compound eyes. The visual information obtained here is transmitted via an internal display, protecting the player's eyes from intense light such as explosions that suddenly occur during a game. In addition, their high night vision capability enables targets hidden in the dark to be uncovered.
	+ **Audit Signal** (オーディットシグナル, *Ōditto Shigunaru*): The inspection device. By constantly monitoring the Power Rider's condition, it diagnoses the continuity of transformation based on operating efficiency, damage, etc., and cancels the transformation if necessary.
	+ **Blank Crusher** (ブランククラッシャー, *Buranku Kurasshā*): The mouth section. The voice chat function enables clear conversations even with loud noise, allowing communication between Power Riders during cooperative play, etc.
* **Desire Basic** (デザイアベーシック, *Dezaia Bēshikku*): The suit-type gaming device. Using energy supplied from the Desire Driver, it raises the output of the player's physical abilities.
* **Progressive Arm** (プログレッシブアーム, *Puroguresshibu Āmu*): Entry Form's arms. They produce enough power to defeat the Jyamato by increasing the player's arm strength. Furthermore, various functions can be added by attaching expansion equipment.
* **Entry Glove** (エントリーグローブ, *Entorī Gurōbu*): Entry Form's gloves. They can be configured for high sensitivity to perform more delicate work than can be done with bare hands. They can also be customized with the features of various Raise Buckles.
* **Progressive Leg** (プログレッシブレッグ, *Puroguresshibu Reggu*): Entry Form's legs. They increase the player's leg strength to raise the game's survival rate. Furthermore, various functions can be added by attaching expansion equipment.
* **Entry Boots** (エントリーブーツ, *Entorī Būtsu*): Entry Form's boots. They boast excellent jumping power and running performance on the game field. They can also be customized with the features of various Raise Buckles.
