Um... so you want us to list them? 
No, I know what you mean. A canon character is one that appears in the book/movie/TV show you are writing a fic about. In other words, it is not a character that you make up.
Example:
Little Boy Blue = Canon
Little Girl Orange = Non-canon

And, just to give you more than you asked for, to write "in canon" is to write about events or things as they are depicted within the books or films; else is AU (Boromir lives, characters have slash relationships (or, arguably, almost any romantic relationship), Legolas marries Eowyn etc.). When a Character is "in canon" you have written them in keeping with how they are portrayed in the books or film.
Got it? There'll be a test later 
And Welcome!

What's a PWP by the way? I -think- its plot-what-plot, but i have no idea what does it mean...

A PWP is a piece of smutty goodness without a plot. The whole point of this type of story is to get characters to have sex.
For example - There is a snowstorm and Aragorn is out in the middle of nowhere when the snow starts. He manages to find a isolated cottage where he takes shelter. It turns out a gorgeous widow who has not had any male companionship or any visitors for that matter for a long time, lives there. One thing leads to another and then you have lots of smutty goodness taking place.

I will have you know that I am capable of writing decent stories where characters can wait a couple of hundred pages before sex occurs.  And you seem to like my smut well enough young lady.
But yes, I do like PWPs. In so many ways they are like one night stands. There is no commitment to a long, involved storyline and if well written, a PWP is a thing of joy.
