Canis is a writing community for play-by-post (forum-based), freeform roleplay set in a fictional dream world in the intrusion fantasy genre.

Inspired by Japanese royalty. Shiroshika is a pack that strives for peace by any means necessary. After having her trust betrayed multiple times and feeling that the pack is no longer safe, Reiko obsesses over the safety of her family and of the pack. They have grown secretive, opting to keep to themselves and make newcomers earn their trust before being welcomed into their ranks. Until further notice, Shiroshika will no longer be accepting "soft characters" since they are more in need of warrior/guardian types. Anyone who would like to join SS but gets turned away will be given other packs to seek instead.
