In-Character Introduction:
The Prometheus Union is a mutant based supergroup that was established in the summer of 2010 when people of different backgrounds received letters that were sent by a mysterious person who happened to know specific information about their origins. Each of these people seemed to share one thing in common: they possessed special abilities. Most people would refer these individuals as mutants since most of them received their abilities at birth or later in life through puberty. The letters they received instructed them to meet. Though, some were reluctant to go, they found this meeting to be some sort of calling to do something greater. Others had argued that the entire thing was a trap, considering this unknown person knew information about them and wanted to gather them all in one place. After a lengthy discussion on how to proceed from there, the group made Serenade the group leader and dubbed their band of heroes as the Prometheus Union.
While some were adjusting to being part of a team, others had already been working on their superhero career. However, soon enough, the group found themselves (along with other people of the meta community) a new enemy: the unknown terrorist group dubbed as the Xeno-terrorists. These terrorists ran a small squad that went around Millennium City targeting anybody that was not a pureblood human. An introduction of a new virus was brought in by the Xeno-terrorists that was used to shut down a metas abilities and return them to normal. The virus was able to be reversed and the squad had eventually been eliminated by the heroes or so they thought.
A year had passed and the Union, as well as the meta community, saw the return of the Xeno-terrorists. This time, however, they returned with a much larger force. Their weapons, their numbers, their bravery had all become greater than before. This new wave of terrorists introduced the cyborg squads, groups of terrorists that were actually machines while appearing to be human. This also introduced the new weaponry that was designed to take on the meta community. These weapons were specially made to target a metas abilities and shut them down temporarily while causing excruciating pain to the target. The Union fought back along with several of their allies. However The Union eventually saw a new weapon: the Meta Hunter. This prototype was a large robot that was over 8 meters (About 25 feet) in height. The group was able to dismantle the machine, but they knew the terrorists would send more. However that day is unknown as the organization had gone quiet waiting to pick the right moment to strike again.
What your character might know about the Prometheus Union:
The PU started out being rather underground, so not many people knew about it. After its first year of activity however, the PU began gaining a reputation by owning a safe haven for mutants and extraterrestrials. The Xeno-terrorists targeted many of these groups and the PU took people in that required homes and security. The PU owns an apartment complex in Downtown Millennium City that has been converted into a high-tech security tower where some of the group members also live, along with the refugees.
Your character might know that It was rumored that there has been a group keeping watch over those being targeted by groups such as the Xeno-terrorists, or even more known: the IHA (Institute of Human Advancement). While the IHA is relatively harmless due to it being a political group, it is still a very dangerous organization as the group is very much against mutant kind (most believe the IHA is behind a lot of anti-mutant situations). Your character might be interested in helping the people being affected by the anti-mutant groups and wish to join the Union in the fight against the Xeno-terrorists.
Out-of-Character information:
I. What the Prometheus Union is about (Theme/Concept):
The Prometheus Union is a supergroup inspired by the X-Men. The Union focuses on creating a sort of family aspect for the group that focuses on the development between characters while also maintaining focus on several overarching stories that have been developed for the group. The stories provided for the group are not the only stories being focused on. The Union wishes to focus on character specific storylines to help people focus on character development, both for their own characters and between others. While the group focuses on mutant (natural born or mutated) based characters, it welcomes characters of other origins such as science based (experimental and the like), extraterrestrials, and supernaturals.
II. What the Prometheus Union has to offer:
The Prometheus Union offers players the opportunity to take part in group oriented roleplay as well as the benefit of teaming with others to do missions, lairs, and alerts. We want to push PVE gameplay as much as we want to offer roleplay opportunities for members so fun can be had across the board. Roleplay events including both storyline and social will be provided as often as possible for group members. We also offer the opportunity for everyone to introduce their story ideas so others of the Union may participate in their storyline.
III. Website, Wiki & Channel info:
The Prometheus Union may be found over at its updated website here.
The application to join the Prometheus Union may also be found on our website under the "Applications" section of the U.M.F. forums.
You may also view additional information about the Prometheus Union on its PRIMUS Database entry.
The Union also has its own in-game channel for members and soon to be members to join. Those who are looking to apply may also join the channel, but they will have to remain out-of-character as the Union's channel is in-character.
To join, please type in /channel_join "Prometheus Union"
IV. Recruitment:
The recruiting process has several stages to it. The first part of the recruiting process is the Roleplay Stage. People will be required to partake in roleplay with the current members of the Prometheus Union before being considered for recruitment. This allows the players to get to know your character as well as your roleplay style and test your knowledge as a roleplayer. Once a character/player passes the Roleplay Stage, they may submit an application that details information about their character while also answering a few questions about the player. Some information on the application may be used in-character as part of the recruiting process when members of the Union are interested in bringing your character into the Union.
The application may be found here: http://theumf.shivtr.com/vb_threads/1129600
V. Alternate Character Policy:
Players will be allowed three characters within the Prometheus Union. The recruiting process applies to each character, which means each character you wish to get into the Union must follow the Roleplay and Application stages of the recruiting process. While you are not expected to play only these characters, the limit is set to three to allow character growth for Union characters while having enough room to keep a few alts. Its understood that players enjoy playing multiple characters, but the policy is to help keep focus on the story of Union characters as well as the overall story of the group. Characters that were previously in the Prometheus Union prior to this policy will not be affected by the new policy.
VI. Contacts for Recruitment:
Recruiters reserve the right to deny any person(s) for the recruitment process.

IX. What we arent looking for:
Terrova is a mutant with little experience with his powers. The suit he wears grants him super strength, but it's worn because without it, he becomes a formless pool of lava.
With that, good night all!
That's a pretty nifty concept right there!
The group is rebuilding again, but it's most likely going to be active around 6-7PM ST(PST) and later. I'm personally on pretty late.
Okay, not to weed through my characters and see who would fit aside from about half of them.
I will say, this Group is at the top of my list, so please, let me know if your interested in an interview or I'll whisper chat you out online. Chat handle is @WeasleX and a link to my personal bio is below, no, don't worry if you don't want to read all of it, it's quite a bit long.

I took a look over your post, it's very well put together!
If you're still interested, I'll go ahead and send you a global friend invite. Be on the look out for @Reldin on your friend list. I'm always online via pidgin (chat interface that lets me log into CO chat) so we can talk whenever. We're trying to push more IC interaction before recruitment, so we can set up a little meet and greet for some RP. There's also a social event where I will be bringing my PU character Azunai if you would like to attend.
It will be this Wednesday at 6 PM server time (which is PST).
