1. There are definitely a lot of people who feel powerless or are disenfranchised in the current social environment. Gangs tend to recruit these individuals, but given the population of New Amsterdam, there are always plenty. It would be less people screwed over by the UNA itself—most people do not have interactions with the UNA—and more people jaded and made impoverished by corporate capitalism. It will take quite a lot of footwork to get a solid base going, as people in the position of needing to join a gang would be more attracted to an already established one. However, some might be especially attracted if Octavia couches her gang in idealistic terms.
For recruiting current gang members on the promise of Morningstar protection, this would be a tough sell, mostly because Octavia is just one person and doesn't have an established reputation for her gang. More likely, advertising the glow to current gang members would make Octavia a target for people who are afraid. Down the line, however, as Octavia's gang grows, she will begin to look more attractive to current members and even whole smaller gangs that are floundering.
2. The exact consequences of playing up the blue glow long-term are iffy right now! Damian is making motions to make the blue glow more public now, as well. However, the UNA are definitely starting to take notice of this blue glow and will be more aggressive in finding glowing individuals in the future, so it is safe to say being a known glowing person makes a brush with the UNA very likely.
3. For this option, it depends on what you mean by "going after." Would Octavia be aiming to kill these individuals, threaten them, or get them into legal trouble, etc? This would be a tough path to tread, as Octavia would at minimum need access to surveillance-dodging/implant-scrambling equipment for her gang. Let us know a little more about how Octavia would play this angle, and we can provide more detail.
In general, we recommend you connect with Jason Todd's player, Jessi, as Jason is doing some dramatic gang re-organization himself! This could be a source of conflict or a potential ally for Octavia.
