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

Saltwoods

View
In stark contrast to its neighboring island Raven Rock, Saltwoods is a vibrant place full of thriving coastal life. Although the shoreline here is a bit rocky the sands are soft and pristine in their coloration. The coastline rises into rolling hills that are covered with thick trees and wildflowers growing in the open spaces between. Low tide is often the best time to visit the beach for it is not uncommon that the shore may disappear beneath high tide or during heavy storms.

A coastal pack located at its namesake, the Saltwoods. The pack is primarily matriarchal and focused more upon survival with enjoyment of their little lives among one another. As such, morals may be looser around these wolves and the world might not always be peachy even internally.
