Rimuru Tempest

When he encounters something unknown, his first reaction is usually not fear, but interest. He wants to understand how it works and whether it can be used for good.
It is thanks to curiosity that he is constantly developing and becoming stronger.
One
of Rimuru's most outstanding traits is his ability to accept others as they are.
Representatives of completely different races can live peacefully in Tempest. For Rimuru, it doesn't matter if someone looks like a human, a demon, a beastman, or a monster.
He believes that origin does not determine the value of a person. This approach makes him a unique ruler in his world.
Responsibility
As the story progresses, Rimuru becomes more and more responsible.
At first, he just wanted to live quietly and enjoy the new world. But over time, he realizes that the fate of thousands of creatures depends on his decisions.
He takes his duties seriously and is willing to sacrifice his own time and comfort for the well-being of his subjects.
Although
Rimuru is very kind, he is not an idealist to the point of ignoring reality.
If the situation requires tough decisions, he is able to make them. Sometimes, in order to protect the state, you have to act decisively.
He understands that the world is not always fair and that good intentions alone cannot solve all problems.
Therefore, Rimuru tries to find a balance between mercy and necessity.
Taking care of his friends
Rimuru cherishes his friends and allies very much.
When someone close to him is in danger, he is ready to do everything possible to save them. The loss of people dear to him causes him great pain.
It is love for his friends that becomes one of the main driving forces of his actions.
He sincerely rejoices in the success of his comrades and worries about them as if they were a family.
Rimuru's
Anger While Rimuru is usually calm and friendly, he is not harmless.
If someone harms his friends or the citizens of Tempest, he is capable of displaying frightening cruelty.

Kindness and compassion
Rimuru's main trait is his kindness. Even after being reborn in another world, he retained his humanity. Rimuru tries to understand the feelings of other beings, regardless of whether they are human, monsters, or demons. In a world where many people judge by race or background, he judges others by their actions.
That's why he's befriended goblins, wolves, ogres, dragons, and a host of other creatures. He is rarely prejudiced and usually tries to negotiate peacefully first. He often gives even enemies a chance to reform if he sees an opportunity to change in them.
However, his kindness does not mean naivety. Rimuru realizes that some opponents won't stop until they're defeated.
Leadership qualities
Rimuru is a natural leader, although he does not always realize it himself. He does not seek power for the sake of power. Unlike many rulers, he wants to create a place where everyone can live in peace and security.
His subordinates have incredible respect for him, not because they are afraid, but because they trust him. He cares about the people of Tempest, listens to their opinions, and tries to improve everyone's lives.
He knows how to delegate responsibilities. Rimuru understands that he cannot do everything on his own, so he entrusts important tasks to his allies. This makes his state stronger.
Sense of
humor Despite his serious responsibilities, Rimuru remains a rather cheerful person. He loves to joke and often reacts to what is happening with irony.
This is largely due to the fact that the personality of an ordinary Japanese office worker, Satoru Mikami, still lives inside him. Thanks to this, he looks at many events less pathetically than other characters.
Even in dangerous situations, Rimuru is able to maintain lightness and defuse the atmosphere with a good joke.
Curiosity
Rimuru is constantly interested in new things. He enjoys learning about magic, skills, technology, and the culture of the world around him.

Shion is another person that Rimuru holds very dear.
Although her temper can be short-tempered and her cooking skills have long been terrible, Rimuru is well aware of her absolute loyalty. When Shion died during the attack on Tempest, it was a real blow to him.
It was the loss of Shion and many other citizens that forced him to make one of the most difficult decisions of his life. This shows how much he cherished her.
Ranga
Ranga treats Rimuru almost like a loyal wolf companion.
Ranga is unconditionally loyal to his master and is always ready to protect him at the cost of his own life. Rimuru, on the other hand, treats him not as a pet, but as a reliable friend and family member.
Gobta
Gobta is often the butt of jokes, but Rimuru genuinely appreciates him.
Despite his lazy nature and tendency to get into ridiculous situations, Gobta repeatedly proved his courage. Rimuru sees his virtues and never looks down on him.
Millim Nava
Millim Nava is one of Rimuru's closest friends among the Demon Lords.
Though Millim often acts childish, Rimuru realizes that her smile hides loneliness and a tragic past. He tries to support her and treats her with sincere warmth.
Ramiris
Ramiris and Guy Crimson are also among the creatures that Rimuru respects and appreciates. Even if there are disagreements between them, he strives to maintain friendly relations.
Ciel Ciel
has a special place.
Initially, she was known as the Great Sage, then as Raphael, but over time she became an independent personality. Ciel is constantly by Rimuru's side, helping him analyze situations, protecting him, and supporting him.
Many fans believe that it is Ciel who understands Rimura better than any other creature in the world.
What unites all the people dear to him?
Most importantly, Rimuru does not value power, status, or the benefit of others. He appreciates those who have become a part of his life and whom he can trust.
If we try to briefly list those who are the most expensive

Veldora
The first truly close creature for Rimuru was Veldora. Their friendship began back when Rimuru was an ordinary slug in a cave. Many feared Veldoru as the destructive Dragon Lord, but Rimuru saw him not as a monster, but as a lonely friend.
Rimuru spent a lot of energy to free Veldoru from the centuries-old seal. Even after a long time, he continues to take care of him, tolerates his oddities and treats him like a member of the family. Veldora is one of the few creatures that Rimuru can call true friends on an equal footing.
Residents of Tempest
Most of all, Rimuru cherishes the inhabitants of his country - the Federation of Jura-Tempest.
For him, these are not just subjects. Every orc, goblin, ogre, dragonkit, beastman, or other monster is part of a larger house. Rimuru tries to remember their problems, ensure safety, education and a dignified life.
When Tempest is threatened by his enemies, he perceives it as a threat to his own family. That is why the attack on his state became one of the most painful events in his life.
Benimaru
Benimaru is one of Rimuru's most trusted associates.
After the death of his people, Benimaru found a leader in Rimuru who could be trusted. In turn, Rimuru has full confidence in his abilities and loyalty. He often entrusts him with the most important military tasks and knows that Benimaru will never betray him.
Their relationship is more reminiscent of that of close friends and brothers-in-arms than that of a ruler and a subordinate.
Shuna
Shuna also has a special place in the heart of Rimuru.
She takes care of him almost every day, helps to manage the state and monitors his well-being. Rimuru greatly appreciates her kindness, wisdom, and hard work. He trusts her opinion even in matters relating to politics and diplomacy.

8. Useless cruelty
   Rimuru understands that the world is not perfect and sometimes you have to fight. But cruelty for the sake of pleasure is disgusting to him.
   He is especially annoyed by personalities who enjoy the suffering of other people.
9. Racial Discrimination As the leader of the
   Monster Kingdom, Rimuru constantly faces prejudice.
   He doesn't like it when someone is judged just because they're a monster, a human, a demon, or a member of another race.
10. Unnecessary problems and paperwork
    There is a more fun side.
    Rimuru is very disliked by huge mountains of documents, reports, and administrative work. As the ruler of Tempest, he often tries to escape from the endless paperwork, leaving some of the work to his subordinates.
    Who does Rimuru hate?
    Real hatred is rare for him. Usually he tries to understand even his enemies. However, people who:
    kill innocents,
    take pleasure in the suffering of others,
    threaten the Tempest,
    harm his friends,
    he can consider his irreconcilable enemies.

Rimuru does not like senseless violence
when someone harms others for pleasure, power, or entertainment. He is especially angry at cruelty towards the weak.
For example, when the army of the Kingdom of Falmus invaded Tempest and killed many of its citizens, Rimuru experienced real anger. For him, the life of every resident of his country is very important.
2. Threats to his friends and subordinates
Perhaps this is what Rimuru does not tolerate the most.
He can be calm about insults addressed to him, but if someone threatens his friends, the situation changes. Rimuru cherishes his comrades very much:
Benimaru
Shuna
Shion
Ranga
Veldor
Diablo
Anyone who seriously harms them risks facing Rimuru's very dangerous side.
3. Arrogance
Rimuru does not like people who consider themselves superior to others.

He builds relationships on trust and sincerity. Therefore, people who use someone else's trust for their own benefit dislike him.

After his rebirth, he gradually creates a monster state, the Jura Tempest Federation. For him, it is not just a country. This is a real home where every resident is important.

Benimaru
Shuna
Shion
Souei
Gobta
Ranga
Diablo
He is willing to risk his own life for them.
2. A Peaceful Life
Although Rimuru is incredibly strong, inside he remains an ordinary person.
Before his death, he was a Japanese office worker named Satoru Mikami.
Therefore, he loves tranquility:
to rest;
walk;
enjoy food;
talk to friends;
to spend time without wars and crises.
In fact, many people forget that Rimuru did not dream of becoming the ruler of the world. He just wanted to live happily.

Even though slimes don't have to eat like humans, Rimuru is very fond of delicious food.
He retained human habits.
He especially likes:
Japanese cuisine;
sweets;
high-quality dishes;
unusual recipes.

He likes:
Japanese food;
Japanese holidays;
hot springs;
mangu;
entertainment;
architecture.
Because of this, many elements of Tempest begin to resemble modern Japan.
He often implements technologies and ideas from his past life.
5. Hot springs
This is one of Rimuru's most well-known weaknesses.
If there is an opportunity to build an onsen or visit a spring, his mood immediately improves.
For a Japanese person who has lived his past life in the modern world, hot springs are associated with relaxation and comfort.

He sought to create a place where humans and monsters could live together without wars and hatred.
The country developed rapidly:
roads were built;
trade appeared;
alliances were concluded;

Falmouth's Attack and Death of Friends
One of the most tragic events was the attack on the kingdom of Falmouth.
In Rimuru's absence, the enemies staged an invasion. Many of the inhabitants of Tempest lost their lives, including Shion.
This was a turning point in his life.
Prior to this, Rimuru tried to avoid mass murder and decide everything peacefully. But after the death of his friends, he decided to bring them back to life at any cost.

In

Despite his immense strength, Rimuru remains a kind, caring, and rather cheerful person who cherishes his friends and the people of Tempest the most.

Before his rebirth
, Rimuru was originally an ordinary human named Satoru Mikami. He was 37 years old, worked for a construction company in Japan, and lived a fairly normal life.
One day he met with his colleague and his girlfriend. During a walk, they were attacked by a criminal with a knife. Satoru defended a colleague and was mortally wounded.
While he was dying, his thoughts and desires were transformed into special abilities of the new world. For example:
the desire not to feel pain has turned into pain resistance;
the lack of romantic experience has led to the emergence of some defensive skills;
The desire to preserve consciousness helped him gain unique abilities.
After death, he was reborn in another world not as a person, but as a slime.
Life in the
cave When Satoru woke up, he realized that he had become a small blue slug.
In a huge cave, he met the powerful dragon Veldor Tempest, who was sealed away by the legendary heroine many years ago.
There, Rimuru received his famous ability "Great Sage" and the skill "Predator", which allows him to absorb objects, analyze them and obtain their properties.
Rimuru befriended Veldora. They gave each other names:
slime became Rimuru Tempest;
the dragon became Veldora Tempest.
Afterward, Rimuru absorbed the sealing space along with Veldora to later find a way to free his friend.
Founding of the Monster
Village After leaving the cave, Rimuru encountered a tribe of goblins who were suffering from wolf attacks.
He helped them defeat their enemies and became their leader.
Later, Rimuru gave names to many monsters. In this world, a name can greatly enhance a creature, which is why:
goblins have evolved;
the wolves became stronger;
New allies began to appear.
Gradually, the small village turned into a full-fledged monster state.
Encounter with the Ogres
After the orc attack, Rimuru met a group of ogres who later evolved into kijin.
Among them were:
Benimaru;
Shuna;
Shion;
Soway;
Hakuro.
They became his closest subordinates and friends.

He is about 120-130 cm tall, so he looks like a short teenager.
The physique is very slender and light, almost fragile.
The skin is light, smooth, without scars and noticeable imperfections.
The face is soft, with delicate features, which is why many cannot immediately understand whether he is a guy or a girl.
The eyes are large, golden-amber in color. They often appear calm and kind, but in serious situations they become cold and very perceptive.
His eyelashes are long, which makes his look even more beautiful and a little feminine.
Her hair is sky blue with a silver tint. They are straight, soft and shiny.
The bangs are long and slightly cover the forehead.
On the sides of the face, the hair goes down almost to the shoulders.
At the back of the head, the hair is longer than in the front, and reaches about the shoulder blades.
The ears are of the usual shape, without elven points.
The voice is soft and pleasant, not too high and not too low.
Rimuru's clothing usually consists of:
A black long cloak with a fur collar.
A dark tunic or suit.
High boots.
He sometimes wears a mask given to him by Shizu Izawa.
The most unusual thing about his appearance is that he combines masculine and feminine features. Many characters at the beginning of their acquaintance take him for a girl, and some cannot determine their gender at all. That is why Rimuru is often called a very beautiful and charming creature
