Bit Character

Bit-characters are unimportant original characters that appear in Badfic for minor roles. Most bit characters do not necessarily need to be killed, and it is often up to the Agent's discretion just what to do with them, whether that be recruiting them, killing them, or leaving them alone to assimilate into the canon after the mission.

In Suefics
Bit-characters in Suefics tend to be in the following roles:
 * Mary Sue's Bestest Fwend Evah!!11!
 * Mary Sue's rival
 * Mary Sue's former (often abusive or dead) lover, the guy who makes her swear to "never love another man again"
 * Mary Sue's servant. This often appears in Lord of the Rings, where the recently arrived Mary Sue believes that Lord Elrond houses servants and gets one to boss around.
 * Mary Sue's sibling, who is also pretty, but "not as pretty as Mary Sue lolz!" and ends up with a Canon Character as well.

In Slash
A bit-character in Slash is most likely to have one of the following roles:
 * A sibling of one of the males involved
 * A former lover of one of the males involved
 * A servant of one of the males involved
