I'd stay stick with one universe at a time. If you want alternate universes, I'd say make different pages for different universes. That way, people don't confuse them as much and you can experiment a bit more with how that universe affects Dark. Bear in mind, Butterfly Effect. A change from one universe can be small for one character, and giant for another. Look at the Flashpoint Paradox story arc. Barry Allen's life didn't change by much, he had his parents back, but Bruce Wayne was dead, Thomas was a murderer, and Martha Wayne was the freaking Joker. Alternate Universes are fun, because you can screw with your character all you want and then just say, "He's from an alternate universe!" As for his backstory, I'd say you can attempt to sever his ties with the main cast. He can interact with them if you'd like, but his backstory shouldn't revolve around them. This makes your character a lot weaker and makes you rely to much on source material. The point of an Original Character is to be just that, Original.
