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

One moment she was home, the bustling desert oasis she had come to know and love brimming with activity ─ the next time she awoke she was in a brilliant golden vale and she hadn't recalled setting out; nor did she think some place like this was anywhere near her homeland. Her sandy frame was sprawled out amongst its lush grasses still laden with frost touched with the waning winter. The young woman rolled her weight, pulling herself so she was onto her belly as lilac eyes blinked and she took in the beautiful sights about her nose pitching to the looming boughs of ancient trees. 

Barbeya was in awe, laying there for a long while before eventually clambering onto her feet and giving a good shake of her pelt, she hummed as she began to meander more than she moved.

Cream tipped tail swaying in rhythm at her hocks to the beat of her little song. She moved close by the trees, weaving in between them and brushing her nose against their bark curiously, What stories you could tell if only you could speak to me,” she mused with a smirk, letting her thoughts spill.

Her tail continued to dance following the beat of her tune, so entranced in her daydreaming she hadn't noticed the man until the words found her ears. “You alright, Miss?” she was already smiling as she turned to face him, and she was answering before she got a good look at him. “Oh, yes” she hummed brightly. He was rugged and earthy, he reminded her of mountains and pine and valleys. 

“Do they answer back?” she looked back tossing her head over her shoulder as she laughed whimsically. Shaking her head as she turned lilac eyes back on the much larger man, “No, not usually ─ but can you imagine what stories they could tell if they did” there was a hint that they could. She never denied any possibility. 

The woman rose a brow, “And I wonder, what stories could you tell?” she studied the scars around his eye and had a hunch he was chalk full of them.
