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

Paw of SadaN/A
The pack has recently settled into Niawaki Key and has begun settling into their secretive way of life. Once members have proven themselves, they may be assigned missions to begin scouting out the status of the balance surrounding their claim. Outsiders are rarely taken in as members and are typically very young to be fully raised under the Order’s guiding philosophies. Expect to be turned away if you can not give up your current way of life.


Currently Seeking
Desired Children interested in physical, natural, spiritual, or medical skills or connected to existing members for integration and full belief in the pack's culture.

Lacking Wolves with adventurer, ecologist, counselor, and medic skillsets!

Surplus Currently, no surplus of any kind.

UFA Need a character or want pre-made connections? These characters have open plot connections!

out of curiosity, i have a boyo who is true neutral but is plagued by inner turmoil/demons of his own, has a hard time letting go -- would the order be willing to teach/take him under their wing ? he's over the age of 2

Responded on discord but in case someone else is looking for the answer: presently the order is forced to be more open to outsiders since they do not have the numbers or expertise of the old order to carry out their mission of restoring balance to the world. Even wolves born into the order may struggle following the pack’s practices since its learning to go against natural urges and put effort into practicing their philosophies not just in action but in thought (similar to Buddhism/monks/air nomads from ALTA it’s an ongoing effort and slip ups in newer/younger members are bound to happen/be used as learning opportunities. Kei was and is by no means perfect either and she was raised under the order). Also as a true neutral pack they may do things viewed as “bad” so darker aligned characters are allowed if they achieve the pack’s end goal and otherwise follow their rules.

(Sorry if this is messy or needs clarification it’s a quick phone post on my work break lol)
