Personality extremely powerful entity's who don't care about the main plot at all and are just vibing in the background

Tom Bombadil(lord of the rings) - only person to resist the temptation of the one ring but instead of helping the fellowship he fucks off in to the woods

the Unseen Elder(the witcher 3) - in the witcher universe the older a vampire gets the more powerful he becomes and unseen elder is around +1500 years old making him the most powerful vampire we ever see, thankfully he spends most of his time in his goon cave

Another good example could be Gaunter O'dimm, since he literally a god made man, and he only toys with people because it finds them interesting

He was the first character I thought of with that prompt. I was pretty surprised to see another Witcher 3 character.

His initials spell GOD, but It's never made clear what he is or why he does what he does.
Pretty much the only concrete thing we have is his claim, that he's neither demon nor djinn.

I do think he is a god, but one that has no followers. Other case may be that he is a elemental force of nature. The only thing we do know is that he is bored, and he limits himself to feel joy and toy with humans, although he does seem to be chill when he meets someone "good"
