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

The Oasis

View
A random haven found within the sandy dunes of the desert, a freshwater oasis along with tall coconut trees can be found as a refuge for any thirsty travelers. Shorthaired hares, camels, rats, mice, various birds and some fish makes this a lonely paradise as most who arrive often do not leave out of fear of never finding their way out of the desert.

A kingdom of wealth and resplendence makes their temporary residence along the reaches of the desert oasis. Akashingo is a civilization devoted to striking art and the pursuit of pleasure. Belief in the divine and afterlife are ingrained in their inhabitants, with a pantheon populated by powerful Gods who are called upon for guidance and protection. They are lead by a divine Pharaoh who acts as intermediary between mortals and their divinities.
