So here I am thinking up several Agents in my room. And then I come across a question that perplexes me somewhat:
Can one Agent,who is an OC, be partners with another Agent who is none other than the author that created him/her? -

I think that's a wonderful idea! And Firebird is right, there's a lot of opportunity for conflict/comedy just in the nature of the relationship, let alone any clashing personalities/quirks they might have. I'd say go for it if it's what you want to do! :D
As far as I can tell, anyone can be partners with anything as long as they are not Mary Sues and not boring. That's just my personal opinion though, (and a newbie's one at that) and I'm sure it varies from person to person. c: -

There's a lot of comedy potential there, especially if the author had been one who liked tormenting her characters.
"You made me ruin my best friend's career for a plot point?!"
"Well, someone had to get shafted. And it built character. Stop hitting me with the CAD already!" -
ah,good point. by

Sort of. Do bit characters count?

Bit characters are characters that have bit parts. Meaning, they aren't the focus of the story, but appear, perform actions, and may have lines.
A good sign of a bit character is that they are in the story, and aren't background characters (even if they aren't named), but the story isn't 'about them.'
They may or may not have description-- sometimes they don't need any, and they're left to imagination. It would be ridiculous to describe every character your leads see... especially when the leads don't really take notice of them themselves. How many people a day do you see that you can describe only as 'a security guard' or 'a mailman' but not give a detailed description?
Of course, if things are a little TOO-lacking in description, it all becomes beige prose. :
Even so, that's a bit character. I know that's probably covered on the wiki, but I needed to get my daily dose of blathering over with. >_>;
