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

Hour of the wolf. Slight breeze with clear view of the sky.
75°f / 23°c
 
 Coolness laps at his fur-ends, coaxing his concious with each gentle lick that has his body rousing from it’s suspension within the azure. It calls to him much like his mother did; gently upon his face with a repeated notion, and with a wrinkled nose he attempts to thwart it, to push it away with a skinny paw and turn to shield from the offending notion— To dive deeper into the warmth he has come to know.
 —But even that proves fruitless.

 Forced to be met with the world around him in a confusing pattern much like his saeng-li But he is no pup— he is grown now. A han sal in his own right. And with a cardinal gaze he looks to the light that dances above him in a fragmented haze—it’s beams broken upon the water's surface in a dazzling way that stills his movements if only for a minute.
 Yet it’s when the familiar ache settles in his lungs that he breaches the surface with a fluttering chest and is stilled by the weightless moon that cloaks.
 Wading silently, he waits…

It was late when the Kaicho member descended from the temples of New Kaida. Many had retired to their chambers for the night, but restless legs itching for motion kept her awake. The journey to the beaches came naturally, even in the low moonlight that pierced jungle branches. It would be calm there.

Kei stared out at the lapping waves, each tide pulled in harmony with the shifting days, no matter what turmoil rolled them. A testament to the strength they represented. Though the wave represented far more than that. They were change, fortune…be it positive or negative to those receiving.

A ripple pierced the low lapping, waves rolling outward against the tide from something emerging from the depths. Kei stood, defensively taking a step back as she squinted into the dark waters. A body emerged, unfamiliar with soddened fur draped only in moonlight leaving only one question on her mind. A newly awakened…or a spy?

“Show yourself.”
