I don't generally port characters between universes (whether it's a new version of another character or an actual transfer between universes), even if the universes are very similar; like C'kayah, I like to ground my characters in the lore of the world in which they live, so that they're creatures informed heavily by the setting. That's one of the reasons why L'yhta is a miqo'te -- I find a lot of complexities and grey areas of their racial lore very interesting. In MMOs especially, I write new characters for each game I play.
While universe jumping is definitely lore-compatible in XIV, I tend to consider it a weird, rare thing, and so L'yhta is always surprised to hear claims of it (and typically is interested in finding out more). She tends to be a bit skeptical about it, though, since there's so many rumors flying about and wild claims in the Eorzean media.
I have sometimes ported MMO characters back to tabletop games in the same setting, though. Typically, this is when I really like the concept but I never got to actually RP it significantly. For instance, I once took a Champions Online character and played it in a Champions tabletop game, since I never got to RP her much -- just enough to really get her "voice" down, but not enough to satisfy me. Unfortunately, said game imploded after 3 runs (the HERO System: It Tends To Have Issues).
