Lilith's real name is Lilan Wilson and she admits to being born to a "junkie white trash" single mother in Ohio. She realised from an early age that she was different to most - not only because of her background, which was already a reason for other kids to avoid or bully her, but because her defiance of their attitudes led to a defiant "do what I want" attitude of embracing her interests, no matter how deviant others considered her to be. This led to conflicts with the reigning cliques in high school and despite her being the one bullied, ended with her being expelled because she was the one with a knife (the fact that there were 3 girls against her was apparently not important). She says the only good thing to come out of high school was that the Daytona curriculum forced learning of arts and languages, and she used this to focus on art and music, two of her loves, and learnt the basics of Latin and Mandarin Chinese - which she admits were odd choices, but she states that there were few Latinos in Dayton to grab her interest in Spanish as a utility, and getting into goth and occult interests she though Latin was cool. And Chinese, why the hell not - it's different and the Chinese are awesome. | |||
After high school she began dating her notably older weed dealer, who she'd been fucking (for weed) since she was 15 and when she turned 18 they decided to start filming their sex lives and selling the videos online. She became very popular. He didn't. Growing fans and income always wanting to see her naked, but not keen on him being involved led to problems that culminated with him beating her - but never the victim, she clawed his face, scratching his eyes, and fled to her favourite goth club to gather her thoughts. There she met Lakisha, a goth friend, with who she went to the bathroom to get a mood-lifting fuck, and ended up being Embraced. She returned home to a psychotic boyfriend who reattempted to beat her for scratching his eyeball, and ended up triggering Lilith's first frenzy which only ended when he was completely exsanguinated. Both to cover the murder, and because Lakisha hadn't asked for permission prior to Embracing Lilith, the two fled Dayton for California, dumping the corpse in the Great Miami River as they left. | |||
Shortly after arriving in Ashford Lilith and Lakisha opened a goth social group called Club Heresy, held monthly at an ailing local bar/lounge. Then biweekly. Then weekly as it grew in popularity until the kindred lovers had raised enough money to purchase the ailing bar, refurbishing and reopening it as Club Heresy. A couple of years later, Lakisha was (falsely) accused of being an Anarch and fabricated evidence of her actions to destabilize the Camarilla was presented, leading to her execution - which made Lilith become the Anarch that they'd believed Lakisha was. Whilst most remember the 2016 Ashford Sabbat Crusade as a tragic and dangerous time, Lilith thinks of it as a time of karma with Lakisha's murderers getting what they deserved, and the Anarchs rising in power. Shortly after, Lilith proposed an alliance to a fellow Brujah neonate and a young Malkavian goth who'd been forced to become an Anarch by the Camarilla's arrogance, and the Metalheads were born. | |||

Metalheads: Purpose
The metalheads are an informal coterie formed by two neonate Brujah friends with a shared interest in Metal music, and the recent addition of a Malkavian with similar. They have no stated purpose as the coterie is not official in name, and simply a way that Tifa has described the trio's commonality. It is a bond of mutual friendship and respect, and an awareness that neonates of the "low clans" are often ignored or abused by elders, and therefore need to stick together for both physical protection, as well as that of their respective businesses and influences.
Metalheads: Background
The coterie's semi-official formation occurred in 2017 shortly after the end of the Sabbat Crusade, with the addition of Abi Davis, but the seeds were formed around 2014 after Lilith, who had previously respected but had no actual connection to the Anarch Movement, began working alongside Lilah Fox after [what Lilith perceives to be] the murder of Lilith's sire and lover, Lakisha. Whilst working with Lilah, Lilith met her progeny Tifa, and the two became fast friends over their interest in metal music, and participation in Brujah Bashes. They have been allies and supported each other since, sticking together for mutual defence and to take the fight to the Sabbat during the Crusade. In the post-Crusade environment, with many of the surviving Elders and Ancilla eager to expand their powerbases into areas previously controlled by now-deceased rivals, and other neonates seeking to steal these opportunities for themselves, both Kindred realised they could benefit from an alliance to help each other protect their businesses and Domains.
Metalheads: Domains
Both Lilith and Tifa have their own, individually small domains.
The Dragon House: The Dragon House was long the Domain belonging to Lilah Fox, until she moved to her current domain on the outskirts of Ashford. She left the physical building to the Jung Sing family which had long served her faithfully. Although the building was no longer officially Lilah's domain, it was known that she was protective of it - so few kindred would bother to mess with the Jung Sings or the Dragon House. After Tifa's Embrace, Tifa spent most of her time on her own endeavours or at Lilah's domain, but the death of Tifa's parents and elder brother in the Crusade left Tifa the unexpected inheritor of the Dragon House, and it was recognised officially by the new Prince as Tifa's domain shortly after. Although all the coterie members are welcome at the Dragon House, it is rare to see them there unless they are there simply to socialise with Tifa whilst she is dealing with business concerns or performing, which she does several times a week at the Dragon House.
Club Heresy: Lilith's club was also recognised as her personal Domain post-Crusade. Whilst Lilith and Lakisha set up the club she had suffered predations from other kindred previously for years - Goths, Emos and BDSM fans are regular willing blood dolls and kindred could easily hunt them with less caution about the Masquerade, meaning many kindred would come to the club to hunt, then leave, often forcing Lilith to have to deal with the aftermath (unconcious humans) and restricting her own ability to hunt in her own club (too many people being attacked/hurt/falling unconscious in her club could damage the business) - but could do little about it as her club was not a recognised domain, although she would use her own physical prowess to drive away any kindred she found hunting in her Club, if able to. Now that it is recognised as her own personal domain, she enforces this protection with far more zeal. Kindred hunting there without her permission are likely to get a sound beating by Lilith or Maxim (a Malkavian elder who has worked as her bouncer on the busy nights ever since the Crusade), or both. Only after taking her pound of flesh will she call the Sheriff to report the breach of the Second Tradition (and possibly also the Fifth). Because Club Heresy was where Lilith and Abi enjoyed socialising (with both kine and each other), as well as Tifa when she performed (or to enjoy other live metal music), it has become the logical location for the three to meet regularly for social purposes - and less likely to raise curiosity eyebrows than two goths (Lilith and Abi) going to the Dragon House.

At present, members of the coterie include:

Background
Lilith's real name is Lilan Wilson and she admits to being born to a "junkie white trash" single mother in Ohio. She realised from an early age that she was different to most - not only because of her background, which was already a reason for other kids to avoid or bully her, but because her defiance of their attitudes led to a defiant "do what I want" attitude of embracing her interests, no matter how deviant others considered her to be. This led to conflicts with the reigning cliques in high school and despite her being the one bullied, ended with her being expelled because she was the one with a knife (the fact that there were 3 girls against her was apparently not important). She says the only good thing to come out of high school was that the Daytona curriculum forced learning of arts and languages, and she used this to focus on art and music, two of her loves, and learnt the basics of Latin and Mandarin Chinese - which she admits were odd choices, but she states that there were few Latinos in Dayton to grab her interest in Spanish as a utility, and getting into goth and occult interests she though Latin was cool. And Chinese, why the hell not - it's different and the Chinese are awesome.
After high school she began dating her notably older weed dealer, who she'd been fucking (for weed) since she was 15 and when she turned 18 they decided to start filming their sex lives and selling the videos online. She became very popular. He didn't. Growing fans and income always wanting to see her naked, but not keen on him being involved led to problems that culminated with him beating her - but never the victim, she clawed his face, scratching his eyes, and fled to her favourite goth club to gather her thoughts. There she met Lakisha, a goth friend, with who she went to the bathroom to get a mood-lifting fuck, and ended up being Embraced. She returned home to a psychotic boyfriend who reattempted to beat her for scratching his eyeball, and ended up triggering Lilith's first frenzy which only ended when he was completely exsanguinated. Both to cover the murder, and because Lakisha hadn't asked for permission prior to Embracing Lilith, the two fled Dayton for California, dumping the corpse in the Great Miami River as they left.
Shortly after arriving in Ashford Lilith and Lakisha opened a goth social group called Club Heresy, held monthly at an ailing local bar/lounge. Then biweekly. Then weekly as it grew in popularity until the kindred lovers had raised enough money to purchase the ailing bar, refurbishing and reopening it as Club Heresy. A couple of years later, Lakisha was (falsely) accused of being an Anarch and fabricated evidence of her actions to destabilize the Camarilla was presented, leading to her execution - which made Lilith become the Anarch that they'd believed Lakisha was. Whilst most remember the 2016 Ashford Sabbat Crusade as a tragic and dangerous time, Lilith thinks of it as a time of karma with Lakisha's murderers getting what they deserved, and the Anarchs rising in power. Shortly after, Lilith proposed an alliance to a fellow Brujah neonate and a young Malkavian goth who'd been forced to become an Anarch by the Camarilla's arrogance, and the Metalheads were born.
Other Information
Lilith is still a young neonate, only a handful of years elder to Tifa and approximately the same power level - yet she's the unofficial leader of the Metalheads. This is a de facto position, as Lilith has a strong, gregarious personality and confidence that leads to her naturally being the one to drive the focus of the group and its activities. Tifa is no wallflower, but she has a lot on her plate and isn't as socially aggressive, and Abi obviously defers to Lilith (who she has more in common with) so she tends to follow Lilith's lead, unless she disagrees - and she will voice her opinion. It is rare but, on occasion, those disagreements have led to having to replace various furniture due to the brief-but-vicious spat that ensues.
