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.

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. 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.

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).
