1) Both! I have a couple of Arachnos characters, some Heroes who work closely with Longbow but also quite a few characters who are part of their own groups or are with long established roleplay groups, but that's just me. You'll find RPSGs dedicated to existing groups and originally created ones throughout the server, it'd just be a case of poking the Union Roleplayers global channel to see if there's anyone online who knows more.
2) a, c and e would likely be the best for now. b and d can get very headachey once other players are involved, whether through knowing or going to know people from time travel or kidnapping other player characters for experiements.
2a) There's already precedent for Crey-made Superheroes/villains as player characters, go nuts
2c) A Hellion who's outgrown the ranks and is looking for their own fame can always work, or as you say, CoT/Midnighters. There's also the Banished Pantheon, an Arachnos Destined One, Longbow Warden, Outcasts and Fir Bolg. Plenty of existing groups and concepts you can take inspiration from (Here is a good place to start looking)
2e) For the 'wealthy shady organisation with unknown ownership' you can just look at the Malta, Nemesis Automotons, 5th Column/Council, Praetorians, Sky Raiders or even the Family as faceless organisations to pull the strings behind your character.
In future, you might want to ask in the Roleplay forums instead as I think people frequent there more than here, and welcome to the game/Union RP!

I will subscribe to that channel, but I find forums an easier way to communicate.|

Hey Everyone,
I've been thinking about adding some of my characters and their backgrounds to the Union Universe. I have a few questions. I'm asking them here because, while the wiki seems to be very active, the forum over there seems not to be.
1) Does the Union Universe (UU) follow the in-game lore closely, or does it have a lot of stuff outside of the lore. I mean, the Lore has major organisations like Arachnos, Freedom Phalanx, Longbow. Is most of the lore in the UU related to those, or are there similar organisations with a lot of lore created specifically for the UU?
2) As a new player in CoX, I'm looking for the following in my backgrounds, and would like suggestions which ones are the best fit in existing lore, giving what my own research sofar has turned up:
2a) Amoral organisation making artificial super soldiers to sell to the highest bidder. Bonus if they have been destroyed. - Crey Industries?
2b) Organisation experimenting with time distortion/travel. - Aeon Corp?
2c) Demon/Fire elemental summoning sect. - Circle of Thorns, maybe Midnight squad?
2d) Organisation into illegal genetic experimentation on Mutants. - Arachnos itself?
2e) Wealthy shady organisation with unknown ownership.
