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

Silent as the mist that clings to their forested home, those of Duskmourne are a feral, secretive wolf pack that moves like shadows through their isolated domain. They are rarely seen, and even when they are, it is often only for a fleeting moment—like a pale, ghostly figure slipping between trees, vanishing into the undergrowth without a trace. Their presence is felt more than it is witnessed, marked by faint tracks, the distant echo of a howl, or the lingering scent of unseen eyes watching from the darkness.

They are a reclusive bunch, treating outsiders with wary indifference at best and outright hostility at worst. They do not seek conflict but will not tolerate trespassers. Lone wolves who stumble into their domain are watched, tested, and, more often than not, chased away. They do not form alliances with other packs, nor do they seek to expand beyond what they already own. They are ghosts of the wild, content in their solitude.

These wolves live strictly by the law of the wild—a strict and unforgiving hierarchy that revolves around survival, strength, and subtlety. Unlike more vocal packs, those of Duskmourne rely heavily on body language, subtle gestures, and soft huffs or growls rather than loud barks or yips. Their communication is primal, honed by generations of instinct and survival.

Currently Seeking
Desired Wolves with a little more feral, non-linguistic edge. Pretty much anyone who is seeking refuge and wishes a place to call home. This is a dominant/skillful stands above all type group, so be warned that any submissive/weaker individuals will be shucked to the bottom tier ranks and won't have much of a chance to climb higher.

UFA Need a character or want pre-made connections? Feel free to reach out to any on our roster to discuss some potential background plots or future ideas! Some adopts may be added sometime in the future as well.
