ASP.NET Identity with custom "user" table

I want to use OWIN. But I need more columns in the user table. I also want to use NHibernate.

What is the way to do this? Extending the user table from OWIN. I don't know if that is possible. Second, I don't know whether I can get caching problems, or not.

Or, I make a second user table for my own user data with a "UserID" property as foreign key referencing to the user table for OWIN?

I'd say use the Asp.NET Identity anyways. if you want to have more properties for your ApplicationUser you can add them like below: 

public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
{
    public async Task<ClaimsIdentity> GenerateUserIdentityAsync(UserManager<ApplicationUser> manager)
    {
        // Note the authenticationType must match the one defined in CookieAuthenticationOptions.AuthenticationType
        var userIdentity = await manager.CreateIdentityAsync(this, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
        // Add custom user claims here
        return userIdentity;
    }

    // Your Extended Properties
    public string FirstName{ get; set; }
    public string LastName{ get; set; }
    //...
}

You can even create methods for User.Identity to get the values of the properties as easily as GetUserId() method. Take a Look at this.
