Walking Two Worlds
"I am a Golden God."
– Russell Hammond
Ashley is the child of two very different worlds, on one hand he takes after his mother on the other he has taken up his father's mantle as a Seelie protector.
Ashley is a musician, and the lead singer, and rhythm guitarist for the Makaras who have grown to some acclaim in the South East. Though he is generally known to prefer to diffuse situations rather than end up in a fight, those that have really seen the fun loving Selkie get angry know that he is capable of efficient violence. He is as passionate about his adopted family of miscreants as he is about his music. He is known to be a bit of a wild child for a Seelie, indulging in all the vices the music industry offers, to the point that some question whether he is Seelie at all.
The Makaras
“In some places they are bigger than Jesus, like small places...”
- Anonymous Fan
Motto: Live to Love, Love to Live
Founded by Ashley the Makaras are a rock band with a lot of influence from the bands of the fifty years. There are elements in their music that shows Ashley's love for all things musical, from the Stones and the Beatles, to Motley Crue and Def Leppard. The Makaras style is a reflection of all the great bands that came before.

Quotes
- "From the lowest neonate to the highest elder, we must always strive to learn and understand, and to spread that understanding. Just as God the most holy has learned lessons from Humanity, so too may we learn from each other" - Nissim Melamed
- "I'm not going to answer that, and you can't fucking make me. I'm not sure if you assumed that I'd hate Nissim because of the history between our clans, or because he's an elder of your sect and I'm an Anarch...or if you just thought I'd be too stupid to see what you're trying to do. Next time maybe don't be so goddamn transparent, and I'll fall for it. I doubt it, but you're welcome to try. Shall we discuss how much you're going to offer me to not tell Elder Melamed about this conversation, instead?" - Dr. Marcel Trevisani
- "He's a stand up guy e'en if he is a damn Tremere" - Ieuen Parker
- "Him? Oh, he's definitely a good witch -- but a little far from Oz, wouldn't you say?" - Zoltan Vancura
- "What is there to know, he's a damn Tremere, I trust him about as far as he could throw me." Zeke Wylde
- “I have often sought comfort and knowledge from Elder Melamed, he is a learned and trusted teacher, spiritual advisor and confidant. He taught me that it is ok to be who I am, even when it was not accepted by the world or even my parents. He is as much my father as the man who helped grant me life.” Ava Schulmann
- "One of the few Tremere that actually understands more than he claims to, rather than the other way around. A good ally to have." - Agatha Palmerstone
- "Not normally my cup of tea, but Nissim is a fine looking kindred and devoted to the Camarilla. What more could I hope for?" - Kelly Cassidy
- "Nissim has done a fine job of recreating the Pyramid with his lineage. I wonder if he gets lonely at the top?" - Randolf Stein
- "Nissim has a kindness I've never seen among his clan, and I passion that I...well." -Alaric of Gaul
- "Regardless of the face he presents himself to the world, its worth remembering that he is a very powerful Elder with very many allies. He leads a powerful coterie and powerful lineage. Tread carefully. However, as far as Elders go, this one upholds and honors his agreements and is deeply knowledgeable about many things. Deal with him in good faith, and you can have a promising relationship. Deal with him dishonorably and expect suffering to enlighten the error of your ways." - Sevinch
- "Nissim is the best of grandsires, and one of the greatest teachers I have had the privilege of knowing. That he has built and headed House Melamed over so many centuries is a testament to his patience, persistence, and wisdom." - Ari Melamed
- "Ugh, I know he wants me to focus, but man it's difficult to do when he's around. You know how it is with Elders." - Kenneth Bilge
- "I think I've left about 20 knives in Nissim over the years. In retrospect, they were stabbings of affection!" - Teuta
- “After the harshness of Russia, the warmth and tenderness that I found within Nissem is what helped to inspire me to search for the best in my fellow kindred. I am who I am, because of Nissem.” — 𝓒𝓵𝓪𝓾𝓭𝓮
- "I'd complain about Nissim making himself whoever the person he's with needs but boy am I lacking in father figures so whoops." - Finley Welles
- I would be nothing if it were not for him. Well, and Mother, but the credit really still goes to him if you think about it that way too." - Jerry Holiday
- "I dislike the overly simplistic word of affection too commonly used that wears out it's meaning. Nissim is an alstromeria in a garden of roses." - Banks
- "I won’t be anyone’s dirty little secret. Except Nissim’s. The things I let that man do to me… Mmmm. What were we talking about?" - Fiadh
- "In but a single act of compassion, I finally had a father." - Izz
- "If you want something, House Melamed will get it for you. Just be sure not to insult their time and energy." - Silly Borden
- "There's a complexity there, a saga that's still waiting to be completed. I'm eager to see how this next chapter ends." - Gavin Callahan
- "There’s no such thing as over-researching when it comes to your green babies. Do what you feel you must do to properly care for your gorgeous growing plants. You will experience the reward of your hard work when a new leaf begins to unfurl, or a tiny cutting grows into a full plant. When a flower blooms, I kid you not, you will find true joy, and the spirits will appreciate you..." - Revinaka
- "Once upon a time the wind blew me to his doorstep, and I was both fool and wise enough to not turn away. For his part, he didn't send my wild and feral self away either." - Maggie Pike
- "For all the threats, and the fights, and the fool's errands, he has always kept his word." - Calico
- "Look, I'm not stupid. I know that Nissim has done some bad, bad stuff in his long life. But he's trying to be better, and if I can't respect it when someone does their best to do better after a lifetime of bad choices, then I'm just a hypocrite of the highest order. So I'm there for him, and he's been there for me." - Evelyn Mitchell-Vykos
- "Single Parent Vibes." - Queenie Lafontaine Paris
