* John Milton of ''Film/TheDevilsAdvocate'' is an increasingly obvious case of DevilInDisguise, and is seriously enjoying his immortality on Earth. Despite being the senior partner of a highly prestigious law firm, a good deal of his time is spent having fun: when he's not lounging around in his luxurious office, he's taking Kevin Lomax on a search for a chicken that can play tick-tack-toe, attending parties without bothering to network with the other lawyers, conducting orgies, spectating at boxing matches, dancing with a flamenco band, and enjoying a night out at a fancy restaurant (where he can be seen getting a blowjob). He's also enjoyed long-term sexual trysts over the decades and fathered many illegitimate children as a result, [[spoiler:though he doesn't reveal that Kevin was one of said children until the very end]]. However, it's eventually revealed that Milton is capable of being in multiple places at once, so dividing time between working, indulging himself, [[spoiler: raping Kevin's wife]], and corrupting Kevin is all too easy.

* In ''Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'', Dorian Gray is both ageless and indestructible thanks to his portrait, and devotes himself to an exclusively sybaritic lifestyle: he wears nothing but tailored suits, lives in a decadent mansion, shares a nightcap of highly-expensive Amontillado sherry with Mina, and according to the novelization, most of the books in his library are ''obscenely'' pornographic. In fact, the only reason why he joins the League at all is that the thrill of violence offered a welcome change to his usual routine. [[spoiler: It's actually because M is holding his portrait hostage]]. As soon as his work's done, he intends to head right back to London, claiming to be "in the mood for vice."

* The crux of ''Literature/{{Repeat}}'' is Brad Cohen finding himself trapped in a GroundhogDayLoop that starts in the womb and ends with the night before his 40th birthday. Getting bored after two or three cycles, he uses his knowledge of the future to fund a lifestyle of mindless hedonism: in the resulting FBI investigation, he admits to having been "[[ImmortalityBisexuality fucking about three women and about one man]] [[ImmortalityPromiscuity a week for the last twenty years]]," with ridiculous quantities of drugs thrown in for good measure. He even brags of doing things like having liquid psilocybin injected into his penis or jamming tennis balls into his anus while masturbating into a handful of cocaine.

** The "Head" character template. See, vampires can't be affected by drugs... but they ''can'' be affected [[SpikedBlood by blood taken from intoxicated victims]]. As such, the Head is now addicted to feeding on mortal addicts, paying them with their pharmaceutical of choice in exchange for allowing him to drain their blood. Indeed, he's ''so'' hopelessly addicted that it's [[AddledAddict literally the Head's only reason for existing]].

* ''VideoGame/BloodOmenLegacyOfKain'': The vampire [[RetiredMonster Vorador]] lives in a ludicrously opulent mansion hidden in the depths of the Termogent Forever, surrounds himself with numerous scantily-clad brides, and drinks the blood of mortals from jeweled goblets. Even Kain -- a nobleman himself -- thinks that Vorador's digs are ludicrously decadent. For good measure, Vorador has very little interest in getting involved in mortal affairs, advising Kain to seek a similar life.

* ''VideoGame/Fallout3'': the pre-War scientist [[HerrDoktor Dr Stanlislaus Braun]] has spent the last two hundred years [[DarkLordOnLifeSupport hooked up to life support]] while his mind amuses itself in a colossal virtual reality simulation. Unfortunately, Braun has spent these past two centuries pursuing his sadistic idea of pleasure, gleefully enacting horrific acts of torture upon the Vault residents in the knowledge that [[AndIMustScream none of them can permanently die in the simulation]]. Worse still, Braun has the ability to [[VirtualRealityWarper warp the virtual reality in any way he likes]], allowing for even more twisted acts of hedonism: not only has he turned himself into a little girl for the novelty of the experience, but he takes great delight in [[ForcedTransforation altering people's bodies]] for cheap laughs - turning James into a dog, reducing Timmy to a garden gnome, and regressing you to about ten years old.

-->'''Madoka:''' But if you become a magical girl, you can handle rough play and you won't ever get old, right? Isn't that the ideal wife?//
'''Sayaka (indignant):''' Kyousuke isn't that kind of guy!

* In ''Literature/ThePictureOfDorianGray'', it's left ambiguous as to whether or not Gray is truly immortal or if his enchanted portrait merely prevents him from showing any outward sign of old age (though many adaptations pick the former). However, he shows a consistent desire for vice, taking on many lovers, wearing sumptuous clothes and jewellery, even developing a hunger for opium towards the end.

* ''Series/AlteredCarbon'': The use of the [[BrainUploading cortical stack technology]] has effectively granted everyone immortality (as long as their stack remains intact), but Methuselahs (or "Meths") are those who are rich enough that they can have [[BodyBackupDrive cloned sleeves]] made from scratch and on demand, and can afford to live with a continuous presence in the world for centuries. The downside is that they're prone to boredom, and their money and influence is an effective shield from legal or moral consequences, so many of them tend to become arrogant monsters who indulge in their darkest fantasies as a pastime. For example, making the poor take part in GladiatorGames or get raped or tortured to death with the promise of a new and better sleeve.
* In the ''Series/BlackMirror'' episode "[[Recap/BlackMirrorSanJunipero San Junipero]]," [[spoiler: the eponymous town is actually a virtual reality scenario in which the terminally ill are routinely plugged into; a few choose to be [[BrainUploading uploaded to the Cloud]] after death and spend the rest of their days partying -- either in the innocently nostalgic environment of Tucker's bar, or the [[DenOfInequity seedy, perverted confines of the Quagmire]]. Kelly suggests that this is an ultimately empty existence that drives people to greater and greater extremes of hedonism in a desperate effort to feel ''anything''; however, it's indicated that Yorkie and Kelly will enjoy a much happier eternity as a married couple, as they have something other than meaningless pleasure-seeking to live for.]]

* The [[SocietyOfImmortals Land of the Immortals]] in ''Series/{{Spellbinder}}'' is governed by this trope. Having been left unable to age as a result of an experimental plague cure, the inhabitants are now waited on by androids and have no need to work except on hobbies. As such, ''everyone'' in this society lives the life of pampered nobility, dressing in rich clothing, surrounding themselves in luxury, boasting to one another about their latest purchases in increasingly desperate attempts to assuage [[WhoWantsToLiveForever their overwhelming boredom]]. The first two immortals encountered are trying to teach their androids to play football, without much success.

** Rakshasa were actually born from a desire for this trope: the first of their kind was so devoted to earthly pleasures that he resolved to continue it for all eternity, becoming the progenitor of a race of materialistic evil spirits blessed with BornAgainImmortality -- and in a few rare and powerful cases, CompleteImmortality. Gluttony is a running theme among the Rakshasa, to the point that one of the lowest rungs of their society is occupied by those who have been designated simply as ''food.''

** The "Head" character template. See, vampires can't be affected by drugs... but they ''can'' be affected by blood taken from intoxicated victims. As such, the Head is now addicted to feeding on mortal addicts, paying them with their pharmaceutical of choice in exchange for allowing him to drain their blood -- ''so'' hopelessly addicted that it's [[AddledAddict literally the Head's only reason for existing]].

** The "Eat Food" [[PointBuildSystem merit]] allows a vampire to eat food "and even enjoy its taste", as the rulebook explicitly says. They can't digest it though, so they'll have to vomit it later, which means if they eat (alone) it's only for the sake of enjoying a meal.

** ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': The [[SpaceElves Dark Eldar]] have attained immortality by [[ImmortalityImmorality feeding on the pain and suffering of other living beings]], allowing them to indulge the hedonistic desires that other Eldar have been forced to deny. As such, their culture is a non-stop orgy of twisted amusements including (but not limited to) gladiator games, drugs, rape, torture, and [[MadArtist increasingly monstrous forms of "art."]] In several cases, the most important perpetrators of these atrocities are millennia old, and one or two can even remember the fall of the Eldar.

* ''Anime/CasshernSins'': After [[CameBackWrong coming back wrong]] from [[spoiler:Casshern's assassination attempt]], Luna becomes an immortal disgusted with death (and how the Ruin is destroying everything) and converts many people and robots into her loyal subjects by giving them the means to have eternal life. Casshern, who has spent the whole series wandering the post-apocalyptic wasteland looking for her and has seen both [[TheApocalypseBringsOutTheBestInPeople the best]] and [[ApocalypseAnarchy absolute worst]] of all beings trying to survive, finally learns that life is meaningless unless you work to do something worthwhile out of it, [[ThreateningNegotiator and thus threatens Luna's cult]]: either spend your lives improving the wasteland, or he will come back and kill them all. And he, not them, is the one with the true CompleteImmortality, so he definitely is not doing an empty threat. And with that, [[ButNowIMustGo he leaves to continue wandering the wasteland]].

However, it's eventually revealed that Milton is capable of being in multiple places at once, so dividing time between working, indulging himself, and corrupting Kevin is all too easy.

* Jeanette Voermann of ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines''. A Malkavian vampire of indeterminate age, Jeanette never seems to take anything seriously, devoting herself to pursuing amusement: when she's not partying on the dancefloor or playing "pranks" on her sister Therese, she's having sex with any party that consents: men, women, mortals, vampires -- she's even been carrying a relationship with Nosferatu spy Bertram Tung and will gladly flirt with a Nosferatu player character as well. For good measure, most vampires aren't interested in sex, and some in-the-know [=NPCs=] will comment on how unusual it is for Jeanette to actually have a libido -- especially [[HatesBeingTouched Therese]], who reacts with rage and disgust at the very concept. [[spoiler: The twist is that Jeanette is actually a split personality of Therese, brought to life as [[PromiscuityAfterRape a response]] to the sexual abuse she underwent in childhood.]]

-->-- '''Akinleye,''' ''Literature/TheFirstFifteenLivesOfHarryAugust''

* ''VideoGame/Fallout4'': Emogene Cabot is every bit as immortal as the rest of her family, [[spoiler: thanks to a serum drawn [[MainliningTheMonster from the blood of her father]], himself gifted with immortality by an alien artifact.]] She is also an incorrigible thrill-seeker thanks to her boredom and engages in so many escapades with lovers across the Commonwealth that her brother Jack has long since stopped caring about her absences.

** Säid of [[TheNecrocracy The Kingdom]]; a [[ChummyMummy reanimated ancient Egyptian mummy]] working as a businessman in the 21st century, he enjoys sugary treats, wine, cigarettes, tailored suits, and the very latest smartphones. It's even implied that he might actually have a sex life, despite his desiccation. For good measure, he spends most of his time lounging around on the Hotel Wahid's balcony rather than getting involved in the fighting occurring throughout the region -- even though his status makes him practically indestructible.
** Inbeda the {{Oni}} is presumably just as immortal as his fellow demons, having been exiled from the Hell Dimensions ever since the Edo period. As luck would have it, Inbeda greatly enjoys his exile on Earth, finding that it allows him [[MundaneLuxury access to luxuries he'd never be able to find in Hell -- including television]]. Even with Tokyo being consumed by the Filth, he's still living up at the local bathhouse, spending his days lounging by the pool in an expensive tiger-skin bathrobe, listening to hip-hop music, being attended to by scantily-clad servants, and screwing a mannequin dressed up as Kirsten Geary. Plus, [[ImmortalityBisexuality he will happily hit on both male and female player characters]], encouraging them to strip naked and frolic in the waters. [[spoiler: Later missions in the Tokyo story arc feature him ''finally'' getting off his ass and joining the fray... but he still refuses to go without his bathrobe and slippers.]]

* Two members of ComicBook/TheEternals are known for this.

** In the finale of ''Century: 1969'', [[spoiler: Allan Quatermain]] is found to have sunken into a particularly depressing version of this. [[spoiler: Prior to gaining immortality, Allan grappled with an opium addiction for many years, and the disappearance of Mina Harker has resulted in a disastrous relapse. Now having escalated to heroin, the once-mighty hunter has become so dependent on the needle that even Orlando gave up on him after catching their former friend trying to sell Durandal for drug money. When he next appears in ''Century: 2009,'' Allan has been reduced to a homeless AddledAddict.]] The result isn't glamorized and ''definitely'' doesn't look fun in the slightest.

* ''Film/{{Blade}}'': Zig-zagged between the older and younger vampire generations. The elders seem mostly concerned with business and keeping up TheMasquerade. The young vamps prefer loud nightclubs (with full-on blood showers), sensuous dancing, and openly slaughtering and draining victims... which makes them a very easy target for the Daywalker to dispatch.

-->''I don't even have to floss!''

** Zutha the Runelord of Gluttony was so enamoured with material pleasures that he devoted himself to enjoying them even after he died and became a liche, using powerful magic to maintain his ability to experience sensations like he could in life... though this process required large quantities of stole life force to work.

It's also very common for this to be portrayed in a very glamorous, decadent fashion, often taking place in the cleanest and most luxurious surroundings, and even the uglier or more violent versions will often be glamorized in some way. Depictions of immortal hedonists who live in squalor, contract [=STIs=], or visibly suffer the less attractive symptoms of addiction are comparatively rare - though a few ''do'' exist.

* This is Lord Calvin Burnham's ultimate goal in the ''ComicBook/{{Hellblazer}}'' arc "Roots Of Coincidence": having hit upon a [[ArtificialAfterlife soul cage]] as the ideal means of avoiding being DraggedOffToHell after death, Burnham has the EvilSorcerer Mako transform the blank interior into a luxurious palace and furnish it with as many ''[[SexSlave houris]]'' as the depraved aristocrat needs to stay amused for eternity. Even more revoltingly, the harem is specifically made to suffer for every minute they aren't pleasuring Burnham... and it includes ''children.'' [[spoiler: Constantine magically hijacks this process, erasing the sex slaves and imprisoning Mako inside the soul cage - leaving Burnham trapped alone with an extremely pissed-off war mage when he finally passes on.]]

* In the ''Series/BlackMirror'' episode "[[Recap/BlackMirrorSanJunipero San Junipero]]," [[spoiler: the eponymous town is actually a virtual reality scenario in which the terminally ill are routinely plugged into; a few choose to be [[BrainUploading uploaded to the Cloud]] after death and spend the rest of their days partying - either in the innocently nostalgic environment of Tucker's bar, or the [[DenOfInequity seedy, perverted confines of the Quagmire]].

** One of the biggest twists of the show is that '''''[[spoiler:God himself]]''''' is an example of this trope. As of the start of the series, he's now roaming the Earth, casually screwing numerous women and enjoying jazz performances in New Orleans. He even spent time playing a dog in a BDSM gig... and as a result, his first appearance in Season 3 features him appearing before Tulip with GlowingEyesOfDoom and VoiceOfTheLegion - but still wearing the dog costume.

* Dionysus of Myth/ClassicalMythology, the god of alcohol, was naturally well-known for regularly getting drunk and sleeping around - even more so once he became a more popular god, after which [[{{Flanderization}} he became known almost exclusively for drunkenness]].

** Rakshasa were actually born from a desire for this trope: the first of their kind was so devoted to earthly pleasures that he resolved to continue it for all eternity, becoming the progenitor of a race of materialistic evil spirits blessed with BornAgainImmortality - and in a few rare and powerful cases, CompleteImmortality. Gluttony is a running theme among the Rakshasa, to the point that one of the lowest rungs of their society is occupied by those who have been designated simply as ''food.''

As such, the Head is now addicted to feeding on mortal addicts, paying them with their pharmaceutical of choice in exchange for allowing him to drain their blood - ''so'' hopelessly addicted that it's [[AddledAddict literally the Head's only reason for existing]].
** The "Degenerate" was an absurdly depraved individual even before being Embraced; quite apart from injecting cocaine into his penis, he not only [[BrotherSisterIncest got his sister pregnant]] but ''[[ParentalIncest got the resulting daughter pregnant as well]].'' Even as a vampire, the Degenerate still exists in a meaningless whirl of parties, vice, and sex - not because he actually feels pleasure, but because the Degenerate [[AttentionWhore wants to make himself the centre of attention via taboo]].

* Featured in both ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasy'' and ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'':

** [[TheFightingNarcissist Sigvald the Magnificent]] is the current champion of Slaanesh in Fantasy, and he's been a murderous, self-centered 16-year-old rapist and cannibal for more than 300 years, surrounding himself with a harem of beautiful women and taking multiple wives - all of whom eventually have their skin replaced with doll ceramic to prevent the aging process from offending Sigvald.
** Over in 40K, the [[EvilCounterpartRace Dark Eldar]] have attained immortality by [[ImmortalityImmorality feeding on the pain and suffering of other living beings]], allowing them to indulge the hedonistic desires that other Eldar have been forced to deny. As such, their culture is a non-stop orgy of twisted amusements including (but not limited to) gladiator games, drugs, rape, torture, and [[MadArtist increasingly monstrous forms of "art."]] In several cases, the most important perpetrators of these atrocities are millennia old, and one or two can even remember the fall of the Eldar.

* In ''VideoGame/BloodOmenLegacyOfKain,'' the vampire [[RetiredMonster Vorador]] lives in a ludicrously opulent mansion hidden in the depths of the Termogent Forever, surrounds himself with numerous scantily-clad brides, and drinks the blood of mortals from jeweled goblets. Even Kain - a nobleman himself - thinks that Vorador's digs are ludicrously decadent. For good measure, Vorador has very little interest in getting involved in mortal affairs, advising Kain to seek a similar life.

[[spoiler: The twist is that Jeanette is actually a split personality of Therese, brought to life as [[PromiscuityAfterRape a response]] to the sexual abuse she underwent in childhood.]]

* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': Although most angels are cold, inhuman, uptight, and ruthlessly obedient rule-sticklers, angels who have turned their backs on Heaven tend to be more loosened-up. Examples that take it up to hedonistic levels include the party-loving Balthazar, and the Hugh Heffner-like Gabriel ({{justified}} in the latter's case by him posing as a Trickster, who are naturally sweet-toothed and hedonistic).

** The "Eat Food" [[AdvantagesAndDisadvantages merit]] allows a vampire to eat food "and even enjoy its taste", as the rulebook explicitly says. They can't digest it though, so they'll have to vomit it later, which means if they eat (alone) it's only for the sake of enjoying a meal.

** Second is Eros (Starfox), the brother of [[GalacticConqueror Thanos]], a [[TheCasanova Casanova]] with LivingAphrodisiac powers, and the willingness [[ExtremeOmnisexual to sleep with anyone and nearly anything]]. Unfortunately his powers have lead to some QuestionableConsent, one time involving a married woman, and ComicBook/SheHulk.

* In ''Film/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'', Dorian Gray is both ageless and indestructible thanks to his portrait, and devotes himself to an exclusively sybaritic lifestyle: he wears nothing but tailored suits, lives in a decadent mansion, shares a nightcap of highly-expensive Amontillado sherry with Mina, and according to the novelization, most of the books in his library are ''obscenely'' pornographic. In fact, the only reason why he joins the League at all is because the thrill of violence offered a welcome change to his usual routine. [[spoiler: It's actually because M is holding his portrait hostage]]. As soon as his work's done, he intends to head right back to London, claiming to be "in the mood for vice."

* Creator/MichaelMoorcock's series ''The Dancers at the End of Time'' is set on Earth around the time of the heat death of the universe, when humanity has achieved both immortality and effective individual omnipotence. As a result, the immortal humans of this period are bored out of their mind and constantly compete with each other in extravagance and debauchery, to the point that when the protagonist of the first novella decides to commit to a monogamous relationship for the rest of his (eternal) life, everyone applauds him for his originality.

* In the ''Series/BlackMirror'' episode "[[Recap/BlackMirrorSanJunipero San Junipero]]," [[spoiler: the eponymous town is actually a virtual reality scenario in which the terminally ill are routinely plugged into; a few choose to be [[BrainUploading uploaded to the Cloud]] after death, and spend the rest of their days partying - either in the innocently nostalgic environment of Tucker's bar, or the [[DenOfInequity seedy, perverted confines of the Quagmire]]. Kelly suggests that this is an ultimately empty existence that drives people to greater and greater extremes of hedonism in a desperate effort to feel ''anything''; however, it's indicated that Yorkie and Kelly will enjoy a much happier eternity as a married couple, as they have something other than meaningless pleasure-seeking to live for.]]

* ''Series/PennyDreadful'': Dorian Gray is ageless and [[AdaptationalBadass virtually indestructible]]. As with the original novel, he is also a hedonist and constantly on the lookout for new experiences; plus, being almost unnaturally beautiful, he has no problems with seducing both [[ImmortalityBisexuality women and men]]. [[spoiler: Ultimately, his decadence is a sign of his buried depression: Dorian is trapped a hollow, empty life that gives him no joy regardless of what he experiences, hence why his apparent KarmaHoudini is no victory at all.]]

** One of the biggest twists of the show is that [[spoiler: ''' ''God himself'' ''']] is an example of this trope. As of the start of the series, he's now roaming the Earth, casually screwing numerous women and enjoying jazz performances in New Orleans. He even spent time playing a dog in a BDS&M gig... and as a result, his first appearance in Season 3 features him appearing before Tulip with GlowingEyesOfDoom and VoiceOfTheLegion - but still wearing the dog costume.

* In ''TabletopGame/VampireTheMasquerade,'' most vampires can't eat, are immune to drugs, and rarely have anything that could remotely described as a libido. However, exceptions ''do'' exist:

** The "Degenerate" was an absurdly depraved individual even before being Embraced; quite apart from injecting cocaine into his penis, he not only [[BrotherSisterIncest got his sister pregnant]] but ''[[ParentalIncest got the resulting daughter pregnant as well]].''
