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

Niawaki Key

View
A small, though dangerous, island surrounded by the mountainous jungle of the mainland, encased by shores, met with ocean waters that crash upon sandy beaches. Atop the mountain are the remains of odd, overgrown structures that seemed to once house something. Though abandoned, the rest of the ecosystem here is immense and plentiful, mostly consisting of large mangrove trees and ivy encasing the ground. Plenty of creatures call this place home due to the plentiful plant life and beautiful waterfalls. There is one large mountain range that spans across the middle of the island and houses several cliffs and waterfalls emerging from the edges that drop into the waters below. Any unsuspecting creature may find themselves taking one step too many, landing harshly in the waters below.

Hidden away in the shadows of mountains and jungle, those of the Jade Lotus are resilient and a force of strength one should be careful messing with. The Order is a True Neutral group taking no official allies. They believe in the balance of nature, watching from the shadows for those who harm or disrupt the peace, life that has extended too far, and how energy connects all living things. Members prefer to be anonymous and handle their tasks either unseen or under false names. Outsiders are rarely taken in as members and are typically very young to be fully raised under the Order’s guiding philosophies.
