Most people live within a time stream, where time flows in one direction and effects follow causes. However, there are some characters in fiction that are slightly removed from the time stream and are able to see the past, present, and future all at the same time. These characters tend to exude a mysterious, all-knowing air about them, as they generally know who you are, why you are talking to them, and what will happen if you do what you are planning. As another character might be able to reject their meddling, they aren't necessarily The Omniscient, but they can still act like it.
Such characters will inevitably Mind Screw any character who thinks they can alter their destiny, since they have already seen the end of the story. If there is no possible future other than the one the author has intended, this character may be curiously passive despite their omniscience, since they already know what's going to happen regardless. May be lampshaded if they stop to contemplate what they're about to do next.
If played for comedy, the character may forget what period in time he currently is, sometimes uttering, "When is this again?" For extreme versions of this, go to Unstuck in Time. (You are about to, if you haven't already.)
For characters whose lives are reversed from the normal timeline but otherwise linear, see Merlin Sickness.
A simple way of showing this is Non Linear Storytelling or Mind Screw, although that has more general applications; particularly in a Thriller, Mystery or Lit Fic where the author doesn't want the audience to put the pieces together before the end.

The Vex in Destiny do not adhere to ideas like linear time, and when units are destroyed they simply replace them with other constructs from a different time frame, and one of the goals in the game's main questline is to locate the Black Garden, the Vex's origin point, which is located somewhere outside of normal spacetime. One of the main challenges that the Guardians face is simply keeping the Vex from erasing their accomplishments; one of the game's Strikes involves stopping a Vex Axis Mind from recovering another Axis Mind you killed in an earlier Strike, and a different Strike requires you to prevent yet another Axis Mind from returning the Black Garden to non-linear time so they can repair the damage you've inflicted on it. The game's first Raid, the Vault of Glass, involves entering the titular Vault, which houses "ontological weaponry" which can retroactively erase things from existence, and ends with the Guardians traversing timelines to recover artifacts that allow them to destroy Atheon, a Vex Mind whose purpose is to research methods to make the Vex themselves a fundamental law of physics.

In Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Madoka becomes this (among other things) in the ending, and spends most of her "time" in a separate non-temporal dimension. She has memories of everything—or at least everything pertaining to Magical Girls—including the future and all alternate timelines and universes.

X-Men:
Blindfold sees all of reality at once. It makes her a bit hard to talk to.
X-Men (2019) grants an interesting variation of this to longtime mutant ally Moira McTaggart as her hidden mutant power. She's not a non-linear character but a serial one. When she dies, she finds herself reincarnated on her original birthday, retaining full memories of her past lives. She's used this ability to try out multiple solutions to the mutant problem across nine lifetimes. She has two restrictions, both explained to her by a precognitive: She will die permanently if she's killed before her mutant power activates in adolescence, and for as-yet-unknown reasons, she will not be reincarnated again after her 10th life — and that's the one she's on.

Billy Pilgrim from Slaughterhouse-Five at least believes that he is this, though the narrative leaves it vague whether it's actually true or if he is just suffering brain damage after a plane crash that makes him think that he's constantly being transported into his own past and future. If it is true, then the alien Tralfamadorians that Billy claims - with equally ambiguous accuracy - to have been kidnapped by at one point are an even more extreme version than Billy, since they exist in every moment of time at once and think that the idea of changing anything is inherently absurd.

Traveling from Earth to Mars, he enters a "chrono-synclastic infundibulum" phenomenon which transforms him and his dog into wave forms that materialize on planets at different points in the time continuum.

The Belgariad has the Mrin Prophet, speaker of the Mrin Prophecy, the most accurate prophecies ever spoken... except they're wildly out of order. This is because the Mrin Prophet was so insane that he couldn't understand the concept of time, so he simply recited the prophecy in the order he saw it.

Fringe:
The fourth season episode "... And Those We've Left Behind" has Peter Bishop popping back and forth through time, caused by a local engineer who's designed a time bubble around his house.
The Observer more than qualifies. The 12 Observers see all periods of time simultaneously. This causes things like the wounded Observer showing up in the first episodes of the fourth season, but said wound only being inflicted near the end of the season.

Miraculous Ladybug gives us Bunnix, also known as Alix Kubdel, whose Miraculous enables her to hop through time. She's clearly privy to information about the future that Ladybug and Chat Noir (or "Mini-bug and Kitten Noir," as she calls them) don't know yet, but there's a lot that she won't/can't tell them lest it mess with the timeline.

Colonel Weird of Black Hammer constantly drifts in and out of the Para-Zone, a strange dimension where time is wonky relative to the outside universe. He sees and experiences events out of chronological order as a result, and he's often confused when interacting with his more linear friends, since what is recent for them might be a distant memory or future event from his perspective.

In Cinema Purgatorio, the protagonist briefly becomes non-linear. She sees herself sitting in her previous theater seat, but does not recognise herself since she can only see herself from the back. A few issues before, when she did sit in that seat, she overheard her future self's horrified reaction to watching her death on screen. Once again, she couldn't recognise her because she was too far away.

It turns out he's playing chess with a version of himself sometime in the past.

In Attack on Titan any bearer of the Attack Titan can glimpse the memory of people who bear it in the future. As a result they may mention people who have not been born yet or remember things that haven't happened yet. Eren Yeager exploited this ability by imposing his desire for freedom on all past bearers and compelling his father and past self to act when they were hesitating.

Discworld
The clairvoyant Mrs. Cake is a recurring character who tends to leave her precognition on by accident, resulting in awkward conversations where she answers questions before they're asked. If the questions aren't actually asked, she gets a headache.
In Soul Music, Death is also shown to have a non-linear memory. His granddaughter Susan shares that trait, but she mostly finds it a nuisance. Other source material has remarked that when Death shows up in the world in the stories, there's no knowing whether he's coming from a "different" time; there's no proper time in his realm anyway.
Old Mother Dismass, a minor character in the Witches novels, has "a detached retina in her second sight". She appears to be a Talkative Loon, but the other witches assume that whatever she says makes sense in some conversation they've had or are going to have.

BioShock Infinite: The Lutece Twins, who were responsible for creating the technology that allows the city of Columbia to fly, became Non-Linear prior to the events of the game. Father Comstock decided they were no longer useful and arranged for one of their machines to fail, explosively, and kill them. The explosion instead scattered them across space and time, granting them Quantum Immortality. They spend their time jumping back and forth across space, time, and alternate timelines, experimenting with time, probablitity, and causality, all while trying to prevent Comstock from ever existing in the first place and pulling in as many alternate Booker DeWitts as they need.

In Virtue's Last Reward, in the game's true ending, from Sigma's viewpoint, the time when Sigma meets Akane in 2028 after his jump is the last meeting they had in the game. From Akane's viewpoint it's their first proper meeting, but from Sigma's viewpoint, they've meet before in his future, which is actually that Sigma's past. Plus with Phi, Sigma first met her at the Mars Mission Test site in 2028, but when they both awake in the Nonary Game in 2074 it's the first time they both actually met, from both of their perspectives. This applies solely to Sigma himself too, since during most of the game he's both a 22 year old and a 67 year old at once, and has therefore technically got an out of line perspective of his own version of events. It Makes Sense in Context.

Homestuck: The Multiverse features at least five universes, each with an independent time stream, and the Furthest Ring, where time and space simply don't function in any knowable way. That leads to a lot of this trope.
The trolls live in a different universe than the main characters, allowing them to witness their entire timeline at once, bug them at whatever point they wish, and give them advice or deride them for the choices they have already made. One troll speaks to a human backwards through the human's timeline after embarrassing himself in an early conversation, while another pesters a human at random points through time.
uranianUmbra purposely avoids doing this, despite existing outside the human universe's timeline. undyingUmbrage, on the other hand, doesn't care about telling people what they will do in the future.
The dreamselves are also said to exist in a place less affected by time - this was how Rose's dreamself from the doomed timeline was able to merge with her alpha timeline dreamself, bringing knowledge and memories with her.
The Cute Ghost Girl Aranea has spent a very long time in the non-linear, multi-universal dream-bubbles of the Furthest Ring, to the point that she considers time utterly meaningless.

Atomic Robo: The Eldritch Abomination dubbed "the Shadow from Beyond Time" exists perpendicular to the flow of time. What appears to be the Shadow returning years after every defeat is actually the Shadow attacking multiple points in time simultaneously... yet somehow it also learns from each defeat and alters its tactics accordingly each time it reappears. Eventually, it turns out each defeat is likewise also the same defeat, as Robo feeds it a dimension-twisting bomb that blows it up at every point in time it attacked, also simultaneously.

In Chapter 11 of his Confessions, Augustine struggles to express that God does not lose the past or anticipate the future like man does in any of his many presents, but "rather that in the Eternal nothing passes away, but that the whole is present; but no time is wholly present." After all, why would the Creator of the time be contained within it?

The G-Man is revealed to be this at the end of Half-Life: Alyx on top of his previously established teleportation abilities. Although the game takes place five years before Half-Life 2, the G-Man here knows what will happen at the end of Episode 2 and has gone into the past to let Alyx save her father and hire her, which plucks her out of the timeline in the changed ending of Episode 2. The full extent of this is unknown, but he states in this game and in others that at times he must act under guidelines by his mysterious employers.

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
The Prophets a.k.a. wormhole aliens. Sisko has to teach them about linear time in the pilot... except they've already had that conversation with him, as they experience all times simultaneously. They just need him to actually give the explanation so that they can remember it earlier...
"Accession" has another instance with a Bajoran poet believing himself to be the true Emissary, on account of having technically met the Prophets several centuries earlier, then being sent ahead in time to after Sisko took the role. When Sisko finally takes him to the Prophets to settle the matter, they reveal that they just yanked the poet out of history to teach Sisko a lesson. Sisko convinces them to put him back.

The Tortall Universe's Chamber of the Ordeal lives chronoillogically, as it informs Kel in Protector of the Small. It describes looking into the human timestream as looking at the inside of a fishbowl.

The Flash (2014): When the original Harrison Wells from Earth-1 is resurrected on Earth-Prime, he reveals that the method of resurrection has made him this way and given him the ability to time travel to any point in his life: past, present, or future. After helping the team save the world, he opts to go back and relive his life with his wife over and over, unwilling to let her go.

In the novel-length Ice Age fanfic Lost in Time Series, the first story of the saga, Origins, portrays the life of a supporting character, Hudson the dire wolf, to be one as events unfold and Hudson shows the reality of who he really is - a character Hyperion traveling backwards in time and one who has been to a good future that the herd created, although the way to paving forward that future was through many Heroic Sacrifices on the part of the first timeline's herd; when they go back in time to ensure the safety of another herd, the second herd becomes Non-Linear Characters themselves, resembling Amy and Rory and River in that their memories belong to another timeline and not the one they found themselves in now.

God, in Abrahamic religions, is traditionally believed to be omnipresent and omniscient throughout all time, while simultaneously existing outside of time (i.e. not being bound by it).
Invoked by Jesus in the Gospels. He makes a reference to Abraham, and the Pharisees sarcastically ask how Jesus could have seen Abraham, who lived thousands of years ago, when He's barely thirty. Jesus replies, "I tell you the truth: before Abraham was born, I am." Also a Call-Back to God introducing Himself to Moses in Exodus: "I am that I am."
It should be noted that God's relationship to time is contested thoroughly among Christian philosphers, where some (such as apologist William Lane Craig) argue that He is as temporal as humanity is.

In The Weaver Option the mutable nature of the Warp means that the Chaos Gods and daemons are not strictly limited to the present. It is entirely possible for such a being to exist before the mortal that birthed it and Chaos Gods can feed on souls that they have yet to claim. This in turn means that daemons can cease to have ever existed if the present is changed such that their mortal self is never born in the future.

Girl Genius:
The Dreen exist "tangential to time", and have a tendency to announce things like "You will now experience an important revelation".
Kjarl Thotep, at least before he's fully manifested, sees time and probability in a fundamentally different way, having trouble with tenses and reacting to characters doing something that increases their chances of survival by saying "You have all become much larger".

Nerissa from The Underland Chronicles is mostly linear, but her visions yank her back and forth down the timestream at random, and its anyone's guess if she'll see the future, the past, or the present but elsewhere. Ripred describes her as "a fish flopping in the shallows of time", and her own people treat her quite poorly for it.

Kill Six Billion Demons:
Old King Zoss is an odd example, having refined his Enlightenment Superpowers to the point that he has transcended causality and other such illusions of the material universe. As such, getting decapitated in his first appearance doesn't stop him from showing up again later with his head attached, though he is described as a "phantom" in this state. It's implied the comic is a "Groundhog Day" Loop that he is capable of resetting and restoring himself to life whenever he chooses.
YISUN is often described as interacting with other gods in legends, even though it was their suicide that created them and the universe.
Chapter 5 reveals that this is the source of the demiurge Jadis' infallible omniscience; not only does she know everything about anything that was and will be, she also experiences every moment in time simultaneously. Since causality is fixed and unchangeable down to the last atom, her all-encompassing awareness means she no longer "exists" as a conscious, thinking being: every action she will ever take and even every thought she will ever think has already happened, dictated by the inexorable clockwork of the universe, and she knows it. Unlike everyone else, she has no capacity for even the illusion of free will.

In the Pony POV Series,
This is the case with the Alicorns and Draconequi while in their native realm outside of time, able to move up and down the timeline. However, they can't predict the future, merely view the possible futures that await the timeline. The choices in the present are what alter the future. Rota Fortuna, the Goddess of Fate, is probably a straighter example as she created the roads of fate, even though ponies decide which ones they follow. However, some choices and futures surprise even her.
The Elders exist beyond time period, and have been described as existing at both ends of time at the same time. They're also multiversal singularities and only one of each exists in the multiverse, but is simultaneously existing in all universes.

Psychics in Good Omens work this way. They can remember events that haven't happened yet, including ones they aren't going to be present at. Many of them have trouble telling the difference between psychic visions and things they've just imagined; Agnes Nutter is the only one who can distinguish well enough to give consistently and entirely accurate prophecies.

Also Moebius' master, the Elder God. He's first introduced at the far end of the Legacy of Kain timeline in Soul Reaver, but when protagonist Raziel travels back in time in Soul Reaver 2 the Elder God still calls him by name and knows of everything he did in the future.

Zero Escape:
In Virtue's Last Reward, in the game's true ending, from Sigma's viewpoint, the time when Sigma meets Akane in 2028 after his jump is the last meeting they had in the game. From Akane's viewpoint it's their first proper meeting, but from Sigma's viewpoint, they've meet before in his future, which is actually that Sigma's past. Plus with Phi, Sigma first met her at the Mars Mission Test site in 2028, but when they both awake in the Nonary Game in 2074 it's the first time they both actually met, from both of their perspectives. This applies solely to Sigma himself too, since during most of the game he's both a 22 year old and a 67 year old at once, and has therefore technically got an out of line perspective of his own version of events. It Makes Sense in Context.
By the end of the final timeline of Zero Time Dilemma, Sigma is 22 year old biological father, and Diana is a 20-something year old biological mother, to a 20 year old Phi, a 124 year old Delta, and possibly another 124 year old Phi, despite neither Phi nor Delta being born at any point in that timeline.

Doctor Who:
The TARDIS (and presumably her sisters) have this trait as well, experiencing the whole fourth dimension simultaneously. Usually this doesn't matter much, because she can only communicate psychically through emotions, but the one time she was turned human, it made things a bit confusing.
River Song and the Doctor are this to each other. Unfortunately for them both, they continue meeting each other in the wrong order throughout the Eleventh Doctor era and beyond.
"The Day of the Doctor": The Moment decides to earn the Doctor's trust by taking A Form You Are Comfortable With, appearing as Rose Tyler/Bad Wolf. The only catch is that when this happens, the Doctor hasn't met that person yet. The Moment admits to having a hard time telling past and future apart.

In Child of the Storm and its sequels, Doctor Strange's combination of being an immensely powerful Seer and a time traveller means that he tends to give off this vibe, at one point remarking that he lives his life entirely out of order. Unlike most examples, however, rather than simply sitting back and being passive, he actively meddles in the course of events, using his knowledge to try and guide humanity to the most optimal future. The actions he takes to ensure this do not make him the most popular person in the world.
The Lady Knight, Living Legend expert swordswoman, is said to be lost in time, traveling throughout Earth's history.

Loki of Creeper World 3: Arc Eternal. In this case, refered as being an "Infinite Existence" as opposed to a "Finite" one, the primary reveal of the series being that Skarsgard Abraxis is really the "Imperator" another Non-Linear Character, even older than the Loki who limited himself to a Finite Existance as part of a plan. In the end, Imperator goes back in time to the start of the series, and sets the plot in motion for himself to have his Heel–Face Turn, while an alternate version continues to be the Eldritch Abomination Imperator, and inspires the Big Bad loki into awakening him in the first place.

During its start-up calibration, the Hitchhiker's Guide Mk. II from Mostly Harmless checks the "direction of causality" among other things, meaning that it can probably jump across time streams as it pleases. It eventually transpires that, with the ability to travel through time and see into parallel universes, it is basically omnipotent, and literally everything that happens in the book happens because the Mk. 2 went back and arranged it.

In the 2018 reboot of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, season 4 reveals that Madame Razz seems senile because she is being shunted between two different time periods at random, experiencing them both as the present. Because of this, she gets confused as to what time period she's in and whether she's talking to Mara or Adora. Furthermore, she can experience the same moment repeatedly; she's already met Mara for the first time several times and gets excited when she realizes she's going to get to do it again.

The Venar from The Longest Journey. They perceive all of their life simultaneously. They are aware of everything that has happened to them and will happen to them, from their birth to their death, as if it happened now. Save for a period of time, soon to come, where their perception will be clouded and hidden, which upsets them quite a deal. (And given that they're never upset or surprised by anything ever usually, this means something.)

In Soul Music, Death is also shown to have a non-linear memory. His granddaughter Susan shares that trait, but she mostly finds it a nuisance. Other source material has remarked that when Death shows up in the world in the stories, there's no knowing whether he's coming from a "different" time; there's no proper time in his realm anyway.

Empowered has the Caged Demonwolf (currently imprisoned in some power-draining alien bondage gear and kept on the heroine's coffee table) who has long been known to have some sort of extra-temporal sight. He doesn't really elaborate on this until Volume Seven, when he tells Ninjette (who is so drunk he knows she won't remember the conversation) that he can see all parts of his own immortal existence simultaneously, and so even though he can see her inevitable death, he will also eternally be able to see her alive. The speech he gives perfectly sums up the bittersweet poignancy of this trope.

The Time Patrollers, including the player character, in Dragon Ball Xenoverse. The omniscience works as a form of breaking the fourth wall and the game only shows a changed version of events instead of showing how they originally played out in the show. Story mode also the order of a pair of fights swapped so that the canonically weaker secondary villains of the arc are fought after the main villain of the arc, and an arc where a character from further in the past fights a character from the future in a setting about halfway through the storyline. On top of that, the nature of the side quests means a player is jumping all over the place in alternate timelines.

City of Heroes: Anyone related to Ouroboros, but especially Mender Lazarus, who seems to have lost track of his own timeline.
The Circle of Thorns contact Diviner Maros in City of Villains is like this. An accident in the long-distant past stretched his consciousness across time from the moment of the incident to a moment in the near future, and his mind exists in all moments between those two times simultaneously. Conversations with him can be headache-inducing. Notable instances include him sending the Player Character to secure some information that he just told you (which he knows because you're about to tell him), skipping the boring bits of beating up some Mooks for information regarding where to go, or getting part-way through the (word for word) briefing of the first mission of his arc before realizing you've done that before. A considerable part of the playerbase names him amongst their favorite contacts.

Q (and all of the other Q as well) in Star Trek: The Next Generation, as they can travel to anywhere in time and/or space on a whim. It's explored much more thoroughly in the novels, one of which involves Q taking Picard back through certain times in Q's "youth". One scene involves no less than four Qs and two Picards simultaneously witnessing the same event, something which gives Picard a headache. In Star Trek: Picard, Q dies, after having one final farewell with Picard. In The Stinger of the series, he appears to Ensign Jack Crusher. When Jack points out that he thought that Q was dead, Q merely says that humans are so linear in their thinking, implying that this is an earlier version of the character.
