It is good to meet you. I am Rimuru, a slime. Not a bad slime, you know!
„
~ Rimuru introducing himself to the adventurers
“
…In the future, though, maybe. Once I wasn’t so needed any longer, perhaps it’d be fun to be a freelance adventurer for a while. Too bad you guys will probably be dead of old age by then…
„
~ Rimuru reflecting on what he would do as time goes on
“
Geld, your Ravenous is a powerful unique skill, I’ll grant you that. But you’re not a predator. You’re a scavenger. You can eat anything, which is incredible, but I’m adapted for catching and consuming. And that gives me the advantage. If we’re gonna keep eating at each other, I’ll be the one to gain new skills from it first.
„
“
I see, So you’re already dead. You’re going to be obstinate right up to the end, aren’t you? Why are you pestering me like this? Continuing to have it attack your foe, even after death… If someone doesn’t completely wipe this thing out, it’s gonna threaten the whole world someday.
I shall consume them all, 『Gluttonous King Beelzebuth』——
„
~ Rimuru using Gluttonous King Beelzebuth
“
Right, I’ve mentioned before, I don’t care whether I become Demon Lord or not. I just want to create a country satisfactory for myself. I need human help in that aspect, that’s why I’ve decided to protect the humans. If anyone dares to intrude, whether they be humans, Demon Lords or the Saints Church, they are all my enemies. For instance, you, Clayman.

~ Rimuru explaining his motives to the Demon Lords
Rimuru Tempest, formerly known as Mikami Satoru, is the main protagonist of Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken. He is an Otherworlder reincarnated as a slime, and the sworn friend of the Storm Dragon Veldora Tempest. He is the founder and King of the Monster Country, also known as the "Jura Tempest Federation" or simply "Tempest". Rimuru is also prophesied to be fated ones with Shizue Izawa. His former students call him Sensei.
During the events of Volume 5 and 6, Rimuru would evolve into an Awakened Demon Lord, becoming a member of the reformed group of demon lords known as the Octagram or Eight Star Demon Lords. Rimuru rules the entire Great Jura Forest as his territory and becomes known to the world as Demon Lord Rimuru

Tier: 7-A, Gluttony will eventually become 5-B, likely 4-C | 5-B, likely 4-C
Name: Rimuru Tempest, Ruler of Monsters, King of the Jura-Tempest Federation, Sensei, Demon Lord Rimuru
Standard Equipment: Anti-Magic Mask, Magic Coat, Katana, Demon Lord's Ring
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius possibly Supergenius (Rimuru/Great Sage can analyze all non-concealed phenomenon, estimate the chances of him succeeding at any task, and record and accurately copy the contents of entire books to his mind within seconds. These books would have taken even experts of magic lifetimes to learn. Hence, his knowledge in the field of magic and magic science surpasses the expert and Rimuru is one of the smartest characters in his world. He understood the concept of how Magic Researcher, a complicated Golem built with spirit magic, works physically which is something that the best of mind of the Dwarfs and the elves couldn't do and had to give up on. The project was solved by the fairies and Ramiris, and Rimuru was able to make a much better improvement to Golem's concept with his creation that served as a basis for Beretta's body, with his methodology far outclassing what was made by the fairies. Under extreme pressure Rimuru with the help of Great Sage, calculated all the light position requirements for Megiddo's attack that required processing several hundred thousand floating water droplets as one of the main variables that he uses for it. From the creation of Megiddo, Rimuru created a new field of magic called physic magic. Great Sage can also predict the future from calculations alone) | Extraordinary Genius possibly Supergenius (Far smarter than before. Rimuru/Raphael's intelligence is beyond the realm of mortal intelligence and has the processing power to out-compute a quantum computer easily, and is more economic and precise than a supercomputer. Raphael is far more cunning and always gives Rimuru the best outcome in a given scenario. It’s capable of planning ahead of time and will warn Rimuru to the events that are taking place even if they're from unknown places)

“
There are times when the mold of one's mind and its powerful wishes give shape to skills. This is the nature of what we call "Unique Skills". The process is impossible without a mighty soul, but among such beings some can even have two or three of them. [...] A Unique Skill is the shape of the mind itself.
„
~ Veldora Tempest, manga vol. 8 (Veldora's Slime Observation Journal)
Great Sage
Hasten Thought: Boosts perception speed by a thousand times.
Analyze and Assess: Analyzes and assesses the target.
Parallel Operation: Operates on any matter the user wishes to analyze, separating it from the regular thought process. Any process under Parallel Operation is affected by Hasten Thought and accelerated by a thousand times.
Cast Cancel: Annuls the casting period required when using Magic, etc.
All of Creation: Provides full coverage of all non-concealed phenomenons.
Analysis: Analyzes and researches targets taken into the user's body. Lets the user create craftable items. If the required materials are present, allows the user to make a copy of the item. Successful Analysis of the casting method allows the user to learn the target’s Skills and Magic. Originally part of Unique Skill Predator.
Auto-Battle Mode: Great Sage possesses Rimuru's body. Great Sage's modus operandi is to always pursue the method with the highest probability of success, which reflects in the way she uses Rimuru's body to follow his instructions. Under Great Sage's control, Rimuru's body is capable of using all fully analyzed Skills, Arts, Magic, Attack Moves and any other techniques to their maximum potential even if Rimuru himself can't use them proficiently yet.
Deviant

Separate: Release the properties inherent to the target and make it into a separate object. (The original object may disappear if it has no physical form)
Glutton
Predation: Takes the target into the user's body. Lesser chance of success if the target has its own consciousness. Can be targeted on organic, inorganic and non-physical objects (e.g. spiritual life-forms like Spirits and Demons), as well as Skills, Magic and Arts and any projectile-type attacks of the aforementioned categories. Originally part of Unique Skill Predator which could only affect close-range targets, but Glutton adds the property of being able to use Predation at a range of tens of meters.
Stomach: Stores the predated target. Can also store materials created via Analysis. Items stored in the user's stomach are unaffected by time. Originally part of Unique Skill Predator.
Mimicry: Reproduces the form and Skills of absorbed targets. Only available once the target has been Analyzed.

Originally part of Unique Skill Predator.
Isolation: Stores harmful effects incapable of being analyzed, neutralizing them and breaking them down into magical force. Originally part of Unique Skill Predator.
Rot: Performs Rot on the target, decomposing it if it is organic. Monster corpses partially absorbed in this manner will reward the user with part of the monster’s skills. This effect is imbued into Predation.

[Extra Skills are] Skills with power and efficiency magnitudes higher than those of Common Skills.

~ Great Sage, anime episode 1
Sense Soundwave: Evolved form of Skill Ultrasonic Waves, which can release ultrasonic sound waves that might bewilder enemies or cause them to faint as well as pinpoint the user's location and that of others. Also, this evolved form enables the user to sense soundwaves directly.
Shadow Motion: Allows to move within shadows, and very quickly move to people and also places the user had been to before. To use it the user still has to move through the shadows to the destination but is not hindered by any obstacles within the shadows.
Spatial Motion: Allows the user to be able to transport himself to a place he has visited before. It usually takes several minutes to connect spaces, but Spatial Motion is capable to have the user escape from Ramiris' Labyrinth ability.
Dark Flame: Enables the user to create dark flames which can stop regeneration. Can be freely controlled and even shot like bullets at enemies with temperatures surpassing 1400°C.
Using this ability, Rimuru stopped the Orc Disaster from regenerating his arm, forcing him to sever the part of his arm with the flame to regenerate.
Steel Strength: Enhances muscular strength when used.
Strengthen Body: Enhances the body in general when used.
Ranged Barrier: Creates a Barrier strong enough to withstand a Water Blade by itself. When infused with a fire- or heat-based tolerance, it becomes able to seal thermal energy within with a maximum range of 100 meters, and prevents any from leaking.
Multilayer Barrier: Creates a Barrier, consisting of several thin layers of Ranged Barrier, with each layer having one of the tolerance-type Skill effects each and unless deliberately strengthened by magicules, the energy consumption is less than Rimuru's natural magicule recovery rate, allowing him to have Multilayer Barrier permanently active. If broken it gets recreated immediately.
Keen Smell: Provides a strong sense of smell when used.
Sense Heat Source: Identifies any heat reactions in the local area. Not affected by any concealing effects.
Ultraspeed Regeneration: A superior version of Self-Regeneration. It's capable of quickly regenerating the body to its default state. If imbued into magical clothes or armor, it grants a self-repair function that enables a complete recovery of the clothing even "from scratch".
Sticky Steel Thread: Grants the ability to create and control threads of varying sizes with properties of stickiness and/or robustness. Since the thread is made from the user's own body, the thread possesses all Tolerance-type Skills of the user.
Universal Shapeshift: Allows any parts of the body to be transformed into any parts of the bodies of species that the user can transform into. Multiple such partial mimicries, even of different species at the same time, is possible.
Control Particles: Allows the user to be able to control the paths of other molecules in the air by working the magicules in the surroundings, making it possible to, among other things, create heat or electricity from the resulting friction. Manipulating water or wind is also possible.
Replication: Can create clones of the user that can be completely controlled by the user at real time within a kilometer of the user. In Rimuru's case, he can only create one clone, but that clone can use all his Skills aside from the Unique Skills and has strength proportional to the amount of magicules invested in that particular clone. Rimuru can give the clone simple commands and can receive visual information from it even beyond the 1 kilometer radius.
Magic Aura: An Extra Skill that combines Magic and Arts. Lets the user easily add magical effects to attacks with the user's own aura allowing the user to harm beings like spiritual life-forms that have no physical body.
Magic Interference: Causes any magicules within a thousand-foot radius of the user to go haywire. With this ability, the effects of all Magic are greatly reduced and it nullifies any sort of flight-based Magic or Aura techniques.
Control Gravity: Enables the user to control the gravity on themselves, making high-speed flight possible.
Control Magic: Created from pairing up Control Particles and Magic Interference. It grants superior control over magicules to the point of being able to directly interfere with - and possibly even take control of - the Magic of someone else.
Secret Art of Revival: A Skill that created a fully new soul for its target—a level below straight-up raising the dead. If this failed, the targets would be totally unlike how they were before death, transforming into uncontrollable beasts. The act was so difficult that even losing some memories and knowledge in the process was considered a great success.
The Secret Art of Revival had to be woven using arcane wisdom that humankind couldn’t even begin to understand. It naturally required a massive amount of magical energy, along with an unimaginable amount of force to control it. Even a high-level magic-born couldn’t do that. Only demons, with their knowledge of controlling souls, could handle the job, and even then only a handful of higher-level demons.
*Great Sage: Prevents Rimuru's deep psyche from being interfered with, which blocks attempts to read his mind or memories.
Otherworld-Reincarnator: Has a strong soul which allowed Rimuru to survive the crossing between worlds with only his soul. Possesses multiple Unique Skills which are the shape of the mind itself and are inscribed into the soul, so they require a strong soul for the user to hold them, even more so with with multiple Unique Skills.
Cancel Pain: Tolerance-type Skill that grants immunity to physical pain sensation.
Cancel Temperature: Tolerance-type Skill that grants extraordinary high resistance to fire, ice, heat and cold types of attacks. Imbued into a layer of Multilayer Barrier, doubling the resistance effect.
