Caidi has developed telepathic abilities in order to communicate, allowing others to be connected through them, and experience a world of though powered by Caidi’s imagination. As a mutagenic ooze, Caidi can also replicate a variety of forms, though all but one resemble an ooze. The one exception is a replica of their genetic donor: Kolya; frozen in time from the moment of donation, thus appears to be a normal 16 year old human female.
Struggling goblin, Damzek strove for legacy in a world that was ever-growing and changing. Unbeknownst to her, she harboured within herself a Planeswalker’s spark, unignited but waiting. The Mending caused wideswept changes across the Multiverse, altering how sparks operated, limiting their power. From the feedback, Damzek found herself with an increase of knowledge, allowing her to enlist with the Simic Guild as a biomancer, after many failed attempts in other career paths. Experimenting with the mutagenic properties of the common ooze, she registered her desires to create a krasis to serve her experimentation but was told her planned project title had already been reserved for another member, forcing her to alter it to be the Krasis of Damzek Project, or KD for short. Oozes are a notoriously difficult subject to genetically alter, as Damzek soon discovered. In fact, one attempt backfired on her, altering her lower body to change over the weeks of recovery into an ooze hybrid. She didn’t care much, only finding it useful to work from all angles of her workshop as the ooze gripped walls. Finding an unaltered genetic donor proved key to the project, though the guild denied her requests for a test subject. Eventually, her underground connections paid off, as a young Azorius trainee sought her out to seek a genetic transition from her female body to a male one, and had been similarly turned away from the higher ups. Damzek agreed, using the child’s sample to develop a formula that would alter hormone production as desired, though she kept some in reserve to use as a catalyst in the KD Project. Finally, it was a success, after many years. Damzek had her ooze/ooze hybrid, intending on discovering a path to immortality through mutagenic recreation of cells. But the experiment rebelled. Whether a case of self-defense, revenge for the pain, or simply hunger, the ooze attacked the biomancer and left her for dead before fleeing into the sewers. The ooze was experiencing an awakening of sentience; pieces of identity flashing through its mind as it attempted to make sense of things and survive. KD became Caidi, and “it” became “them” as they developed a sense of self. Investigating the attack, the young trainee, now a fully-fledged member of the Azorius, and a grown man, Kolya discovered Caidi in the sewers beneath Zonot Two, the Simic branch of the Sixth District. Displaying their abilities, Caidi asked him for help, and Kolya agreed. Caidi now resides in secret in Kolya’s apartment, only sometimes wandering the city in wonder in their borrowed form.
