Rimuru Tempest

"To everyone who went against us, we will bare our fangs and retaliate. To everyone who lends their hands to us, we will grant our blessing to them. To our opponents, we will do to them what they have done to us. In the future, I hope that we can be linked in a friendship one day."

- Rimuru

"Great Demon Lord" Rimuru Tempest 「"大魔王" リムル・テンペスト, "Dai Maō" Rimuru Tenpesuto」, formerly known as Satoru Mikami, is the main protagonist of Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken.

A partner and best friend of the True Dragon Veldora Tempest, Rimuru is the founder and King of the monster country Tempest of the Great Jura Forest. He is regarded as one of the strongest Demon Lords among the mighty Eight Star Demon Lords and also the only proper Great Demon Lord currently.

Personality
He has a kindheart and quirky personality. Even though he is quite laid back and wants to avoid troublesome situations as much as possible, he actually works very diligently when there is a task needed to be taken care of.

With the heart of a hardworking salaryman and a beloved senior co-worker, Rimuru has a hard time rejecting someone if they plead him to help leading in him often ending ending up with more work than he can handle, which his boss from his previous life used to reprimand him for.

Being the very Satoru Mikami himself, he also believes himself to be a KY-person (Kuuki Yomenai) who makes jokes at the wrong time.

Rimuru tends to react very severely when there's danger to his close ones, such as his countrymen, subordinates, friends and students. One might say he overreacts to these cases, but it simply shows how deeply he cares for them, as a stark contrast with his usual cheerful self.

Unlike many other shounen protagonists, he has no problems with decimating any forces who dare to harm his subordinates and his country, regardless of their numbers, realizing full-well about the deed he's done.

After a mishap of subsides, Rimuru tends to quickly revert back to his laid back self and mentally (or even in actuality) scratches his head at the scenery he caused.

He is described as cautious and cunning by other fellow Demon Lords, but it is simply a means of him trying prevent troublesome situations from going out of hand. As he progresses through the story, he slowly becomes more and more like a Demon Lord, and as he adjusts to the rules of the new world and understands the capabilities of his subordinates, he begins to let them handle tough situations on their own instead of voluntarily diving in first to patch stuff up.

Slime
Rimuru initially appears as a pure white-bodied slime (blue in the Light Novel, Manga and Anime), but upon becoming a Demon Slime, his body turns silver with streaks of gold.

His mass also grew over time, allowing him to accommodate larger mimicry forms without using extra magic to compensate for the additional mass. Towards the beginning of the story, he only has enough mass to appear as a child, but by the time he becomes an Ultimate Slime, he has enough mass to appear as a 16 year-old.

Mimesis: Human
In this form, Rimuru possesses silver hair. There are no visible sex characteristics; however, he is often mistaken for a young girl. This is likely due to the fact that the original form belonged to Shizue Izawa.

Since his slime body is equal in mass to his human form, he fills this body with solid shape instead of black fog. Without the black fog, there is no additional magic consumption required to maintain the form. There is no discomfort when he assumes this form. If he uses the black fog, he can also assume the form of an adult.

His fine motor capabilities improve when he is in his human form, and he finds it easier to move in than his slime form. Even though it appears to be human, this form has no need for breathing, excretion, and reproductive organs. However, he can freely eat, taste, and drink.

In his human form, he wears a black fur coat and a scarf. Under the coat, he wears the kimono and pants that Shuna had made for him. He also wears the steel thread underwear he makes himself. He often wears Shizu's old mask to hide his demonic powers.

Since eating the Orc Disaster, his human form grew a bit. He now assumes the form of a pre-teen with feminine features. In this form, he is around 150 cm in height. In addition, he has obtained a devil transformation.

Upon becoming a True Demon Lord and changing his race change to Demon Slime, Rimuru has been depicted wearing a black overcoat. His nails also appear sharper and his overall human form appears slightly older.

Upon evolving further into an Ultimate Slime, Rimuru's human form ages to 16-17 years old. This form is described by Velgurind as appearing gender-less (as she saw it nude upon creation) but with dangerously cute features. By simply willing it, Rimuru can generate clothes from his own mass and magic power.

Prologue

When a certain amount of damage accumulates, the mimicry wears off. Afterwards, there is no damage transfers to his slime body. Because the skill Mimicry utilizes Magic Essence to create a new body, the main body cannot be damaged. There are two restrictions on this skill. After Mimicry wears off, he is unable to transform for the next 3 minutes, and the other was that mimicking a demon/monster required a certain amount of magic essence. The amount of magic essence required is relatively insignificant, hence, it is not an issue, and there is no duration limit to the skill. The reason for black fog when mimicking into monsters is to compensate for the missing parts.

Fusion

He can use the skill『Fire State』 in his slime form, allowing his aura to turn into flames. His surface temperature increases to 1400 degrees Celsius and his body becomes a weapon.

Equipment
A magic mask left by Shizue Izawa. As it's name implies, it suppress demonic power. It also serves as a treasured memento of Shizue, as it is the only remaining possession of Shizue which Rimuru possesses. He received dark leather guards from Garm. It is made of glossy linen - first-class silk that feels wonderful to the touch. Putting the silk to his body, it immediately changes size to fit him. After mixing with his magic, it became as if a part of his body. Even in his adult form, the clothing grows appropriately. This clothing absorbs the aura of its wearer, and can change its appearance. Rimuru’s clothing turned jet black to match his aura. Even if this clothing rips, as long as it absorbs his magical energy, it can repair itself. The materials used came from the previous Fanged Wolf leader. But, due to the wolf clan’s evolution, the fur had turned black. As an extra bonus, it seems that the fur had quite some magical energy stored in it. It has tremendous defense power. This attire happened to have become a magic item. It will always perfectly fit the one who wears it. In other words, even if Rimuru turns into his adult version, the clothing won’t rip. Rimuru equipped with a demon sword a Magic Swords a high-purity Demon Steel weapons inserted with high-purity magic stones/gems he created a sword using Bladed Storm Crystallization and Bladed Flame(Scorch): Crystallization from Void God Azathoth call The Sword Of Tempest.
