Canon

Canon is the source material for a pup. Canon can be any format, from video games to adverts to films, and anything in between.

In Milliways, a pup may be played so long as they have a mention any canon that is not fan-created. Some pups in the bar were not even given names, their roles were so small, but as long as they appear somewhere, they can be played.

Canon is separate from millicanon. Even though a canon may be ongoing, it will not necessarily be connected to anything that happens in the bar. Characters can come into the bar from any point, be it before canon starts, or years after it ends. Many characters will play through their canon, using Milliways and millicanon as a way to explain oddities in the canon, or in rare cases (usually in on-going canons, where a character's arc is unexpected and disagreeable), diverge from it entirely.
