He doesn't fit the description completely, but I'd like to mention Croyd Crenson from "Wild Cards". Unlike most people infected with the Wild Card virus, Croyd didn't change just once. He gets a new appearance and new powers every time he wakes up. Because he's afraid of what the next transformation might bring, "The Sleeper" tries to stay awake as long as possible, by whatever means. When he finally sleeps, it may be for weeks or months. "Wild Cards" is an universe organized by George R. R. Martin in which more than 40 authors participated. Croyd is a brainchild of Roger Zelazny.

Could this be Every Day (2012) by David Levithan?
Every Day is about the story of A, a person who wakes up occupying a different body each day. As described by Frank Bruni of The New York Times, "A. doesn't have a real name, presumably because they don't have a real existence: they're not a person, at least not in any conventional sense, but they have a spirit, switching without choice from one host to the next and, for just 24 hours, replacing its consciousness with their own." A has their own memories, but they are also able to tap into the memories of the person whose body they are occupying.

Does this character take over the bodies of people who are already alive, obliterating the original personality? Octavia Butler's character Doro in Wild Seed does that.

He doesn't fit the description completely, but I'd like to mention Croyd Crenson from "Wild Cards". Unlike most people infected with the Wild Card virus, Croyd didn't change just once. He gets a new appearance and new powers every time he wakes up. Because he's afraid of what the next transformation might bring, "The Sleeper" tries to stay awake as long as possible, by whatever means. When he finally sleeps, it may be for weeks or months. "Wild Cards" is an universe organized by George R. R. Martin in which more than 40 authors participated. Croyd is a brainchild of Roger Zelazny.
