You don't need asp tables in your database. Instead you can use your custom tables for asp identity. Refer the article in my answer below. – Manprit Singh Sahota

Asp Identity uses interface based development which makes it possible to implement existing database compatible with Identity. You can inherit IUser, IRoles, IUserManager, etc so that your existing database can be used with asp Identity. I prefer that you look into article first before starting.
