For more fleshed out examples (for lack of a better term), see TheGenericGuy. If you were looking for tropes about characters that are ''literally'' flat, see PaperPeople, SquashedFlat, or maybe PetitePride or ACupAngst.
For ''emotionally'' flat characters, see TheStoic.

eFor this reason, StockCharacters are used to flesh out a world without bogging down the story with endless backstory for each character. The audience doesn't need to know everything about the character to understand quickly what role they'll play in the story because of the stock character's easily recognizable characteristics.

Indeed, [[TheLawOfConservationOfDetail adding details]] to the character indicates to the audience that the character is to be important. The SpearCarrier, the RedShirt, the BitCharacter may require a Flat Character, to prevent the reader from feeling cheated. This is why we get the FatalFamilyPhoto - if an otherwise interchangeable RedShirt takes the time to establish his hopes and dreams, it's obvious they're going to be dashed in the name of drama. NominalImportance is another example of this.
