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

The touch of cold water upon her paws, the distant call of songbirds in the twilight, the gentle breeze sprinkling snow upon the honey-dappled form; all of it served to pull her, gently, from her nightmare — a barren place where there was no color, no life, heat beating down on her small form in such a way that she could not escape it. The was no shade, no shelter, no safety, and despite the vast landscape, Persephone could feel her pulse quicken as the word trapped repeated over and over in her head.

A small gasp left her as her eyes flew open, sitting up with a sharp movement; disoriented and bewildered, it took some moments for her to realize that she was not trapped, nor was she anywhere even remotely similar to her dream. In fact... Where... was she? Getting to her feet, the petite wolf cast her gaze about the area, brows furrowed in the gentlest manner of confusion. She didn't recognize anything. Couldn't smell anything familiar, either. Where was mother? Daphne? How had she gotten here?

Persephone might have gone searching for them, had she not heard a sound behind her. “Hello?” She asked, voice wavering a touch as she turned to face whoever, or whatever, it was.

sephie stared. how could she not? kunzite eyes met tearful citrine and she marveled at how pretty her eyes were. the silence between them grew, awkward. pregnant. thick.

“i...”

persephone's voice stalled and looked away, shifting nervously under the other girl's gaze. “hello,” she finally managed, ears switching back momentarily, trying to sort out if they knew each other, even in passing. maybe she even knew where Mother was.

ears pressed forward, straining to catch the word that tumbled from the other's lips. but persephone did not speak whatever beautiful language that twisted the woman's tongue, and so the utterance sounded like nothing more than pretty gibberish. 

“sorry?” she asked, blinking owlishly, stepping forward in case it was just that she was too far to really hear her. a silly thought, but a movement that was automatic when she was in her human form. “i couldn't hear you.”
