Biography

Rimuru Tempest.

Satoru Mikami (Japanese: 三上悟, Hepburn: Mikami Satoru) was a Japanese male who lived to adulthood until an unknown event caused him to reincarnate into another world. He came to be reincarnated a a blue slime in a cave where he came to find that he did not have a need for sleep nor had a sense of touch where he was relegated to eating grass to pass the time. After 90 days of boredom, a Unique Skill came to activate named Great Sage that provided him analysis on the world. This helped him learn about the world where he asked it questions and gained answers from it in turn. He came to learn that the grass he ad been consuming were Hipokute Herbs that was a material for high-grade health restorative potions. During his time inside the cave, he met another creature which turned out to be the powerful Storm Dragon Veldora. The Storm Dragon proved himself friendly and taught him how to perceive the surroundings via magicules through the use of the Extra Skill Magic Sense. Veldora also reminisces about the peerless beauty of a Hero that defeated him 300 years ago... the two of them become friends and then named each other as equals. Veldora becomes Veldora Tempest, and the slime was named Rimuru Tempest. To break the unbreakable Infinite Prison, they agree to stake Veldora's freedom on Rimuru's Unique Skill, and Veldora got stored in Predator's storage space, stuck in time and undergoing Great Sage's analysis. With a new goal in mind and friend in heart, Rimuru eventually gets out of the cave. It was only after using the Great Sage's mapping function that he succeeded though. During the 30 days after meeting Veldora, Rimuru ate more grass and rocks, namely Hipokute Herbs and Magic Ore, as well as other monsters that he fought and killed, and develops some personal fighting skills to defend himself, such as the Common Skill Water Blade. Whilst exploring the forest outside the cave, Rimuru plays around with a sound-emitting skill acquired from predating a cave bat and achieves speech. He met a group of goblins and got invited to their village. It turns out the Goblins are being threatened by a pack of direwolves. After hearing the situation from the village chief and being promised eternal loyalty, the good-natured Rimuru helps them, defeats the wolf pack's leader, and acquires the rest of the pack as subordinates. He tells the goblins and wolves to get along with each other, and thus the new village was born under his rule.

In this world most monsters are nameless, with only high-level majin being able to bestow names on others. When Rimuru realizes that there is no convenient way to get their attention beyond addressing them as "you," he names them all. Among them, the village chief is named Rigurd, the chief's son is named Rigur, the new wolf leader is named Ranga, and a natural bloke goblin is named Gobta, who later becomes a remarkable figure among Rimuru's top retainers. All the named monsters evolve, becoming stronger, but they no longer fit their clothes or their door frames, so Rimuru, along with Gobta, Rigur, Ranga, and a group of hobgoblins and Tempest Wolves, go to the Dwarven Kingdom Dwargon to acquire clothes and a skilled house builder. Rimuru, after some misunderstandings, helps out a masterful blacksmith, Kaijin to fill his quota on swords per the King's request. It turns out the Magic Ore that Rimuru ate in the Cave of the Seal is a high-class smithing material. In return for helping him out, Kaijin promises to procure Rimuru a good blacksmith, and Rimuru offers to help Kaijin's friends, Garm, Dord, and Myrd, who are very skilled at their crafts but bad at business. However, a certain Minister Minister Vesta ruins this, and Kaijin, after delivering his quota, is exiled from the country along with Rimuru and three dwarven brothers. The four dwarves, Rimuru, and the company then return to the village. Upon returning, some other goblins' villages join Rimuru's new village after hearing of his grandeur. Rimuru names and evolves them afterward. The Dwarves and hobgoblins immediately start working on building housing. As they are constructing the new town, Rimuru meets four adventurers who are surveying the land in front of Veldora's cave on the Free Guild Branch in the small country Blumund's behalf. The adventurers are a happy bunch. Rimuru discovers that one of them was an otherworlder, originally from Japan, going by the name of Shizu.

After spending some time together and learning about each other, Shizu loses control of the Elemental Ifrit. Rimuru managed to beat and separate it from Shizu. Unfortunately, Shizu is now dying of old age without her elemental spirit. Her full name is Shizue Izawa, also known as the Conqueror of Flames. She explained her situation to Rimuru; She was summoned by Demon Lord Leon Cromwell and now she asks Rimuru to "remind the Demon Lord of her existence" and help her students, asking him to absorb her corpse because she does not want to be buried in this world. After absorbing Shizue, Rimuru can now mimic a human form - a beautifully androgynous human. Other key abilities acquired from absorbing Shizu and Ifrit include Body Double, Fire Manipulation, and a new Unique skill Degenerate. Rimuru, later on, sends off the trio of adventurers with a parting gift, with them promising to send the news back to the guild that his village is friendly towards humans. Rimuru now has a new goal in mind besides freeing Veldora, saving Shizu's former students, and meeting Demon Lord Leon Cromwell.

Getting used to his new abilities, Rimuru relied on Great Sage to adjust seperate or combine them using his new Unique Skill Degenerate. Meanwhile, he received an emergency message through Thought Communication from Ranga. Rimuru ran to Ranga's current location and found him, Rigur, and Gobta in a middle of fight, with the rest of the Goblin Riders knocked out via magic. The culprits turned out to be 6 ogres who accuse Rimuru of being an evil majin who conspired with the orcs to attack the ogres. After a battle and with the Ogre Princess' persuasion, Rimuru finally manages to resolve the misunderstanding. Inviting the Ogres to a feast since there had been no causalities and hence no bad blood between them. They started the feast where they discussed the situation alongside Rigurd, Regurd, Rugurd, Rogurd, Ririna, and Kaijin. The ogres numbering 300 were attacked and defeated by around 10,000 Orcs. Kaijin speculated that they were being controlled by a demon lord behind the scenes due to the absurdly high number. Rimuru heard the discussion and discovered that the remaining ogres were planning to simply charge into their deaths. He asked if they were willing to become his subordinates temporarily even, if they so wished. After a while of thinking, the 'young master' of the ogres agreed to a temporary contract and they were thus named Benimaru, Shuna, Shion, Hakurou, Souei, and Kurobe, making Rimuru enter his low-activity/sleep-mode state. After he awakened, he was surprised to see the B to A- Rank ogres all evolve into Rank A Kijin. Later on, they were all assigned with jobs: Kurobe as a blacksmith and craftsman, Shuna in weaving and cooking, Shion as a secretary, Souei in espionage, Hakurou as an instructor and Benimaru as the army commander.

Rimuru's village was visited by lizardmen envoy led by Gabiru who proposed to Rimuru's group that they should be working under them against the incoming orc's invasion. It turned into a duel between Gabiru and Gobta, which Gobta won, causing the Lizardmen to run away. While pondering what to do about the incoming invasion, Rimuru was visited by a dryad named Treyni who asked for Rimuru's help in exterminating the Orc Lord. Shion accepts on Rimuru's behalf and they began their war preparation against the orcs. Rimuru sent Souei to negotiate with the lizardmen's chieftain, while the rest were ordered to make weapons and armors for the upcoming battle. After a week of preparations, Rimuru sets off together with the Kijin and the goblin riders to start a counter-attack. They met with a lizardman fighting an Orc General with some orcs and saved her life. She explained that she is the chieftain's daughter and Gabiru's brother and that Gabiru had overthrown the chieftain and is battling against the orcs at the moment. Rimuru promised to save the lizardmen and sets off to finally deal with the orcs. The Kijin showed off their newly acquired power and Ranga managed to evolve mid-battle into a Tempest Star Wolf. Before Rimuru can battle the Orc Lord, Gelmud showed up, trying to kill Gabiru so as he can become food for the Orc Lord, but after Rimuru prevents that, the Orc Lord Geld kills and devoured Gelmud causing him to evolve into a demon lord seed and became an Orc Disaster. Seeing as the Kijin's attack isn't working against the Orc Disaster, Rimuru chose to battle it by himself. After a fierce battle of corrosion and devouring each other, Rimuru managed to beat down the orc disaster and convince him that Rimuru himself will shoulder the sins of the orcs, and let Geld rest in peace. After the battle was over, Treyni announced a forest meeting to discuss the aftermath of the war and invite every participating races to bring over their representatives. During the meeting, Rimuru managed to convince the participating races to not only forgive the orcs but for them to work together from here on out. Everyone agreed with the idea and Rimuru became the chancellor of the newly founded Jura Forest Alliance.

With the orcs and other races now working together, Rimuru's town became even bigger and started to gain the attention of the surrounding eyes, monsters, and humans alike.

Gazel Dwargo, the Dwarven King, is surprised at the reports of the monster town and wishes to ascertain their nature, while four Demon Lords - Milim, Frey, Carrion, and Clayman - plan to send their subordinates to them to scout them out. On the other hand, a noble from the Falmuth Kingdom sends out a scouting unit consisting mostly of prison inmates to investigate the remaining orc army inside Jura Forest. The Frontier Expedition Force led by Youm was tasked with that job.

Rimuru was angered because The Kingdom of Falmuth killed many of the citizens of Tempest, including Shion and Gobzo. He decides to absorb them but Eren intervenes telling Rimuru that he can revive them by massacring 10,000 humans, thereby becoming a demon lord. Great Sage deduced that the chance of success was 3.14%. Rimuru then makes his resolve and sets his plan in motion. Rimuru starts his attack by using a spell called Meggido and mercilessly massacres the Falmuth army. After about 5,000 or so have been slaughtered, he acquired a skill called Merciless, which harvests the souls of those who have lost the will to fight. He then immediately uses the skill to kill the rest of the Falmuth army. The only survivors were the king of Falmuth, archbishop Rayhiem, and the court mage Razen. All of this happens before confronting the two because he killed Razen's body. After which, Rimuru begins his harvest festival, an event where one becomes a true demon lord and puts him into sleep. Rimuru begins to feel extremely tired, and there are still dangers around, with Razen surviving his skill Merciless. because of this, he summons Ranga to take him back to town. He also summons 2 Greater Daemons and an Arch Daemon to capture Razen. Immediately after, he loses consciousness, and begins his harvest festival. During which, his unique skills then evolve into Ultimate Skills. His unique skill Great Sage evolves into the ultimate skill Lord of Wisdom, Raphael by sacrificing Degenerate, and his unique skill Gluttony evolves into Lord of Gluttony, Beelzebuth by sacrificing Merciless. After which, he wakes up with Raphael taking the reins of his body, who then revives Shion and the rest of the fallen citizens. He then falls back into sleep and wakes up three days later.

After giving Veldora a new body, learning that Yuuki is the true mastermind behind the recent events, and helping to defend Eurazania from Clayman's forces, they decide to create a false story to make it seem like Veldroa was revived by Falmuth's attack and that Rimuru had pacified him so to avoid negative outcomes. While the majority of the Central World believe this, Demon Lords Guy and Leon are skeptical. After repelling Clayman's attack on Carrion's domain, Rimuru attends the Walpurgis Banquet, where Clayman presents his false story of how Carrion encouraged Rimuru to become a Demon Lord and set up the Harvest Festival for him by influencing Falmouth to attack Tempest; Milim (who had been brainwashed by Clayman) and Frey only helped punish Carrion for creating a Demon Lord without majority consent of the existing Demon Lords, and Clayman calls for them to destroy Rimuru in response to this. Rimuru calls him out on all the lies, revealing that Mjurran is still alive as a witness and Tempest's forces have collected more than enough evidence tying Clayman into the manipulation of Falmouth, which Clayman dismisses. Head of the Demon Lord council, Guy Crimson, tells them to fight it out; he wants the matter resolved simply and quickly. Clayman has Milim fight with his subordinates, leaving Rimuru's side unbalanced. Beretta joins the fight on Ramiris' behalf. Veldora soon joins in on the fight. Beretta takes out the puppet Clayman summoned, while Rimuru frees a fox demon that's under Clayman's control and puts it under Ranga's care. Clayman, in the meantime, finally snaps and loses his composure, transforming into his Crazed Clown form. His weakness and plots are exposed with his defeat by Shion and Carrion reveals himself to be alive and as one of Frey's attendants. Milim reveals that she was never mind controlled and was faking it all along (the neckless used to mind control her didn't work at all) while Frey reveals that she was never on Clayman's side at all, much to his anger. In utter despair at his own weakness, Clayman then powers himself up and plans to kill Rimuru to keep his title. However, Rimuru simply pummels and eats Clayman instead; learning the Moderate Harlequin Alliance works for former Demon Lord Kazeream, whose body Leon killed to take his spot and was also the one who gave Clayman the failed mind control neckless. Thanks to Veldora and Milim's blunder, Rimuru learns that Roy Valentin is revealed to be a stand-in for Luminous Valentine (who is disguised as a maid), whom he was suspicions about earlier. Carrion and Frey give up their seats as Demon Lords upon seeing they are too weak; while still ruling their lands, they now work for Milim. As the group is down to eight members, Veldora suggests Rimuru pick their new name. Rimuru sees stars above the meeting and decides to call them the Eight Star Demons Lords - Octagram.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Rimuru Tempest was originally a human being until he became a reincarnated otherworlder. After his reincarnation, he initially appeared in the form of a blue slime. In his regular form, Rimuru takes the appearance of a usually spherical and sometimes amorphous mass of slightly blue and translucent ooze. Initially, Rimuru's slime form has a diameter of around 40cm, this increases to 70cm after his evolution to Demon Slime and further increases to between 80-100cm after his reincarnation to Ultimate Slime. Rimuru's facial features in human form are nearly identical to those of Shizue Izawa but his long silver hair and deep golden eyes give him an otherwordly divine beauty that sets the two apart. He can occasionally be seen wearing Shizu's mask or donning dragon-like wings.

He tended to react very severely when there was a danger to those close to him.

Ideals without power to back them up were just idle daydreams to him and power without ideals was just empty.

He had said that he was not interested in seeking pure power for power’s sake with no other particular goals in mind.

Powers and abilities

Originally, Rimuru Tempest was an ordinary human being back in his world.

After being reborn in a new world, he came to find that he was turned into a slime (粘性体スライム suraimu, lit. "Viscous Body"?). This new state meant that he was a monster that did not ned to breath, sleep or eat where his existence was sustained by feeding on magicules within the air. He did possess a number of abilities though in this sate such as the power to absorb other objects and dissolve them.

One of the Unique Skills he gained was known as Great Sage (大賢者 dai kenja). This later came to evolve into an Ultimate Skill that was known as Raphael (智慧之王ラファエル Rafaeru, lit. "King of Wisdom"?).

The other Unique Skill he possessed was Predator (捕食者 Hoshokusha) that allowed him to devour other beings or objects. A more evolved form of this ability was Gluttony (暴食者グラトニー Guratonī, lit. "Gluttony"?) that was a Unique Skill that was combined with the Unique Skill Starved.

In addition, he gained the power of ultra-speed self-regeneration allowing his body to repair from any injuries. This meat that he could heal from all injuries and even reform lost limbs. This evolved into an Extra Skill called Ultraspeed Regeneration (超速再生 chōsoku saisei?) that was obtained after his Unique Skill Great Sage combined his slime-specific Intrinsic Skills Absorb, Dissolve, and Self-Regeneration together with the Mimicry of his Predator using his recently acquired Degenerate. It granted the user incredible regeneration properties far superior to Self-Regeneration. It was considered equal or better than the Orc Disaster's regeneration combination of Starved + Self-Regeneration. However, the regeneration is blocked when a wound has been caused by Spiritrons, for example via Disintegration. Also, damage done to the Spiritual Body can just bypass the regeneration itself altogether.

He came to establish a kingdom within the Jura Forest (ジュラの大森林 Jyura No Dai Shinlin) which came to be home of the Jura Forest Alliance (ジュラの森大同盟, Jura no Mori Dai Dōmei).

Later on, Rimuru came to join the ranks of the Octagram (八星魔王オクタグラム, okutaguramu, lit. "The Eight-Star Demon Lords") that consisted of an exceptionally powerful group of existences in the Central World. They had all been ranked Disaster simply for being members of the council.
