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

They said death ended with a white light beckoning you to the otherside. For Etienne it was a split moment in time before that last breath as a human and first inhale as a wolf. He felt the air brushing through hair and bare skin and looked down. Was the ground getting closer? No… he was falling! “Mon dieu!” he yelped, thrashing around as if he could slow his descent by paddling like a mad man. White and gold paws kicked frantically through the air and his panicked mind was relieved that if he fell on the animal flailing beneath him at least it would be a softer landing. It didn't occur to him that they were his paws that he was seeing.

He crash landed in a patch of dry grass, landing ungracefully on his back. Like an upturned turtle he rolled, twisting and struggling to find his feet. Really. Where were his feet? His hands? He lifted a ‘hand’ and wiggled his fingers. The animal’s toes wiggled in response. Then he screamed. He was an animal! His hands! Gone! His beautiful, perfect face! Gone!

The shock of his situation was too much for the spoiled prince to stomach. He fainted.
