Rimuru Tempest
Description
Rimuru Tempest is the main protagonist of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime and the reincarnation of Satoru Mikami, a 37-year-old Japanese office worker who is stabbed to death and awakens in a fantasy world as a slime. Encountering the sealed Storm Dragon Veldora, they strike up a friendship and gain the name "Rimuru Tempest," setting them on the path to building a nation.
In their default slime form Rimuru is a small, translucent mass of bluish ooze, but they can take on an androgynous, silver-blue-haired human form modeled on the swordswoman Shizu. Eccentric and childish on the surface, Rimuru is in truth a calculating, highly intelligent leader who plans meticulously and can be ruthless toward genuine enemies, yet deeply cherishes their subordinates as a kind of family.
Beginning as a lone slime, Rimuru gradually gathers goblins, ogres, lizardmen and other monsters, names them to trigger their evolution, and forges the multi-racial Jura-Tempest Federation. Rising to become a Demon Lord and one of the Octagram's Seven Monarchs, Rimuru pursues a simple dream: to build a comfortable world where everyone can live and laugh in peace.
