History Main / TheOmniscient

This trope often overlap with TheOmnipresent, since being omnipresent is often the reason why one is omniscient to begin with. TheOmnipotent may have this as well.

* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': In "The Seer", Kelvin the Labradoodle can accurately predict the future and foresees Mittens's karmic meeting with Bolt in the film.

** In general, as the audience and viewers, in theory, [[FromBeyondTheFourthWall the stream chats]] (should they be canonized to manifest in-universe) know everything that has been conveyed or presented in livestreams or episodes, and can freely access different perspectives to know what's going on with every POV character on the SMP. In practice, the chats only utilize this ability when they have to, such as in response to the creator-character consulting them for advice, and how much everyone actually knows [[DependingOnTheWriter depends on the individual]]. Notably, Jack Manifold's chat on the WebVideo/DreamSMP manifested as voices in his headset, who occasionally spit out messages and bits of information he wouldn't otherwise have known[[note]]basically the chat metagaming and/or spoiling lore while he's in character through text-to-speech donations[[/note]], causing him to think that the headset is both strange and important to him.
** ''WebVideo/EmpiresSMP'' Season 2 plays with this in a non-traditional sense. While Pix is fairly knowledgeable about the history of the ''Empires'' world as a GameMaster and the resident "Lore Man", he's actually this for ''WebVideo/{{Hermitcraft}}'', a completely different universe to his own, by virtue of narrating for the ''Hermitcraft Recap'' CompanionShow. Naturally, this causes complications once the Hermits actually show up in the ''Empires'' world during the {{crossover}} between the series.

* The Minecraft Multiverse:

* [[Characters/GravityFallsBillCipher Bill Cipher]] of ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' is implied to be this. He already knew who Gideon was before he summoned him.

* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': Though there are plenty of characters in setting who will ''claim'' to know everything, and a few like the GodEmperor of Mankind who come quite close to claiming the title, ultimately there's only ''one'' entity who can really be said to know all...and it's ''not'' Tzeentch, the Chaos God of (among other things) Knowledge. Rather, it's the Lord of Change Kairos Fateweaver, his oracle, who can genuinely claim to know all, having been thrown into the Well Of Eternity by Tzeentch after his master grew too fearful to take the plunge himself, coming out knowing everything that is, has been and ever will be. Fortunately for the universe at large, all the knowledge of the universe came with a couple of hefty price tags. First, Kairos climbed out of the Well of Eternity ''stark raving'' '''mad''' and second, he's now completely blind to the present, only able to see the past or the future. Of course, this is less than comforting to those who actually have to fight Tzeentch's greatest Lord of Change in combat, since his all-knowing happens to include knowledge of arcane Warp sorcery.

** In general, [[FromBeyondTheFourthWall the stream chats]], should they manifest in-universe in any shape or form, are this to a degree. As the audience and viewers, in theory, the chats know everything that has been conveyed or presented in livestreams or episodes, and can freely access different perspectives to know what's going on with every POV character on the SMP.
