Narrative Voices

The "Godlike" option, particularly popular in the nineteeth century. The narrator can be anywhere in his creation at once, so he always knows what everyone is thinking and doing. The Victorian versions often had loads of personality, but existed out of the story; if they used 'I', it was in the context of speaking specifically to the reader.

Like the omniscient narrator, this one is an outsider to the action, usually unidentified as anything other than a voice. This one, however, identifies with one character, going where they go and seeing what they see as well as recording their thoughts. It provides a fairly one-sided view of the action, although this is not the impediment it might seem.

This voice sees everything from the outside; thereby offering only external hints at the character's interior lives. Since this is pretty much the state we find ourselves in regarding everyone we know, it's not often that inviting to a reader.

Not exactly a narrator at all, but rather an extractor that goes into the character's heads to pull out their own narration of their existence. 

A true rarity. This is where the narrator addresses the reader as if it is their story, with 'you' being the more obvious address.

The main character make their own excuses. This is a popular type, especially in the coming-of-age genre as it is a relatable voice.

Similar to the First Person Central, but instead of the story being told from the main character's perspective, it is told by someone close to the main character (think Doctor Watson telling the tales of Sherlock Holmes).
