Welcome to Canis Major

a wolf and animal rpg (role-playing game)

Canis is a writing community for play-by-post (forum-based), freeform roleplay set in a fictional dream world in the intrusion fantasy genre. Most characters on Canis are wolves; many play elements are focused around wolves and canids, but the world makes room for a large variety of other animal characters such as dogs, horses, cats, bears, deer, and many, many more.

Our community is focused on flexibility, creativity, and collaboration. That boils down to a few important features:

  • There is no set activity requirement to write
  • The setting and plot are member-created and staff-supported
  • The game is continuously improved to increase fun and decrease stress

Learn more in our Rulebook!

Please note, all In Character areas (including threads and profiles) are not viewable to guests to better protect our playerbase from those who scrape RP forums to train AI bots. Please register if you wish to see more of the forum.

Coming Back To Canis

Hello everyone! ^^

The real world has been kicking me in the rear lately and I had to take a much so involuntary leave from Canis. That being said... many of my characters have fallen inactive, both in and out of packs. It is my hope to try and restore some of them—however, it is more than likely some, if not all grouped/packed characters will be placed as NPC or Hiatus. As I know time gaps can get in the way of most character progression, I feel this may be the safest option.

It is my hope to get back into the swing of things, whether with pre-existing characters, or brand new ones. I may be a bit slow, but bear with me. Glad to be coming back and can't wait to write with everyone.

Also... for the lovely staff, I do apologize if this area was an inappropriate one to place this. I wanted to get some semblance of notice out, but wasn't entirely sure where to do so. If need be, please give me a nudge about it and I will move this post to its respective area!!

I would absolutely love to still have someone in with the Order! I'm feeling like I may keep Taka on hiatus, simply because Mizuki hadn't had much posting time yet, and with being young she has a bit more room to grow with the group. It can be assumed she was likely wandering and learning the ways over previous time, so it shouldn't be too hard to slip her back into the fray!

Thank you! ^^ I would love to get a new thread up soon and we can configure something with toons of ours. I'm not sure which ones I'll be keeping just yet and if I'll start something new.. but I will put up a plotting thread here at some point with my definite keepers/newcomers and you can have a lookie loo to see who you may want to snag a thread with!

Yeah I'm not concerned its been quiet so all the members have been kinda just doing their tasks around the territory / doing their lessons. She probably hasn't left the territory since she hasn't earned her name yet, but it shouldn't affect anyone's history or yours having her around the claim (same for taka if you end up playing him more otherwise he can be moved to hiatus instead of npc but you don't have to decide that right this second)!

That's fair. I may try to get an up to date thread up for Mizuki tonight and I can tag you in it, just in case you would like to join it. ^^
