Would perpetual reincarnation apply then?

Foreshadow of City of Heroes is continually reincarnated whenever he dies. Additionally he rotates each life from hero to villain to hero to villain, (some bit about originally being a nature spirit that wanted to understand the complexities of human morality). It is the sort of reincarnation where he gets the cliff-notes version of his past lives no matter which side of the morality fence he pops up on, he isn't being born a completely separate being, he is just raised differently each time while he slowly gets his memories back. A similar such case would be Kurama from Yu-Yu Hakusho. Dies, comes back, knows who he is but has been raised differently in his new life so incorporates the old into his new identity. - Originally a sociopath, dies, possesses a fetus, reborn but his human body is not predisposed to sociopathy so he develops a conscience. And both can just keep doing this. Since they die and are reborn but their personalities change, would these being qualified as immortals or is it too far removed from immortality proper.

I realize this isn't concise and I am sorry for that but just want to know where the line for this is.
