There were lifetimes when Victor did nothing but party, all the time and with whoever was around.
Ironically those were his "midlife" lifetimes, after he'd got the hang of reincarnation but before it sank in that he really might be around forever. Eventually he decided that an everlasting being needed to be about something more than reckless self-indulgence. Dropping dead from sheer decadence was really for mortals who didn't have anywhere to be afterward.
His attitude shifted again when he reached the 20th century, however.
It was an era of rapid technological progress and tremendous upheavals. The Cold War was raging and the world was a finger-slip away from nuclear annihilation. People everywhere craved distraction. They wanted to cut loose.
And Victor felt like celebrating. If he'd played his cards right he was only one lifetime away from the really big show, with an afterparty that was just like him: eternal.
His wealth was secure, his plans were in motion. His faithful were all in their places and they had their instructions.
Tonight, their places were in front of the stage and their instructions were to ROCK.

It's slightly different when you're less immortal than recurrently mortal. That's a problem Victor plans on fixing, but until he does he's as fleshy as anyone else and overindulgence has consequences (for his current lifetime at least). It's probably not very fun getting out of breath walking up to the mic.
I suppose so, but given he seems to reincarnate intact mentally, at least he can know where his limits are. No, especially when one needs good breath control to sing properly. On the other side of this, he really ought to be a phenomenal singer if he retains the knowledge between bodies.
