The Two Sides of Characters in the FOG (Narrative)(Possible)

== Disambiguation ==
This page outlines a narrative idea regarding how there is a world-facing side or personality, and a deeper issue related to another aspect of a persons' personality. In this case, this concept is referring to how the Face of God story is written. It does not indicate an in-world law or rule, but rather it is used as a narrative tool to build the character arcs and plots. 
== Basis ==
People are very diverse, each one having many even countless aspects to their personhood. Currently, each of the 16 is being developed under one of the 16 personality types according to the Meyers Briggs idea. Another idea is to make each of the main characters (or specifically the round, or complex, and dynamic, or changing ones) have a personality weakness that is not apparent at first, either in dialogue or the narrative.
Most books are in third person non-omniscient, and you can't know the characters' thoughts. The one exception to this is the concept to make the voice of each person-centric book represent the Meyers-Briggs type that is associated with that character. For example, even though Heart is not a first person point-of-view from Stacey, the book's voice starts out with a somber, explorative tone and changes to a more lighthearted, imaginative tone as she goes through counseling. So, the prose specifically (rather than the dialogue) is written in this voice. Author note: I don't know what the reason for this is, I just had the idea to do it.
The concept involves each main character having a trait that is counter to the face they present in public. This doesn't mean their public self is inauthentic, but that have a pain or weakness that they don't show others, and when they deal with it personally and alone, they show a side of their personality that the reader doesn't see at first.
Using Thomas as an example, who is very measured, even keeled, yet intelligent and grounded socially, making smart decisions to further his career and relationships. As a counter or weakness, he can be curious and chaotic, which is why he decides to upend the firm he works for later in the book. Stacey is soft-spoken, introverted, and open minded, but her home life, stress of school and life, and the death of her best friend are something she deals with in another way--perhaps in a focused, emotionally-detached, or manipulative way. This hidden weakness or nature is meant to counter-balance the innocence of certain characters and humanize them (specifically Stacey).
== Issues ==
One issue with this idea is that people are multi-faceted anyway, and looking at it in two sides like this is dehumanizing. The concept is meant to be a narrative tool. Not that these are the only parts of this character or equal, but that this is what the character has to deal with in their arc.
