Speculations, Observations and Theories
Apparently not completely human in some way; notice the yellowish skin color and only three digits on each hand.
The Halcyon Hippie is at least "sort of" the Bouncing Beatnik seen in the early 70's. It was brought up in his first appearance (2:1/2) that he might be an alternate reality's version of the Beatnik, but his appearance in DA1:4 might suggest otherwise.
On Bruiser's,[1] Kurt said, "There'll eventually be more of the Beatnik -- or another of his incarnations. He's shown up in two, so far." Given the personalities he's displayed so far, it's possible that the Beatnik/Hippie is an incarnation of the youthful zeitgeist, and that his later incarnations could include "GenX," or "The Emo Kid." (Not that Kurt would use such names, but you get the idea.)
