Family History
Summary
Named after Haight-Ashbury, the Californian neighborhood known for its history of, and being the origin of, hippie counterculture, the family currently comprises of two known members. Both Celene, and Redfoot lead the family in a co-ownership as blood siblings and together, they seek to bring spiritual enlightenment to the world; but each in their own way. The family is a Daeva-only pure clan family, with no known unique bloodlines. However, there is no denial that the blood does carry its own gift as its members are found to have correlating experiences in regard to the supernatural and the occult. They who share the blood have a talent in understanding mysticism, and with it, the urge to explore its many mysteries and intricacies.
The Past
1967. California. The Summer of Love. A time of greater pleasures and peace between people and family, but also a time of great conflict and misunderstanding. It was during this summer between the drug-filled orgiastic celebrations and the new era of rock and roll washing over the nation that the Ashbury family found its unconventional roots. No one really knew his name, or if we did, we made certain to forget it. Worst part still is that none of us knew why he did it. Some of us thought he had a death-wish, that the Prince of Los Angeles had already put a price on his head so he went out of his way to make himself as much of a nuisance as possible before being ashed. Others suspected him of being greedy, driven-deep by the vice that controls all Daeva and rushing himself headlong into oblivion in a drug-induced haze. Some even suspected that he was just plain crazy, and that it was the last straw that broke the camel's back. None are really sure why it happened, but in that summer of '67, a mass embrace took place, sweeping through the neighbourhood of Haight-Ashbury and claiming countless of lives.
