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

“A ride, yeah? Don't have to ask me twice.” He grinned, twisting his neck from side to side, then moving to stretch out his shoulders.

“This here valley’s just right for it.” He could certainly admire the choice. There was no better spot to rustle up a good gang.

It was indeed perfect. He couldn't have agreed more.

What was he good at, the man asked? Well, the answer was too simple. Would he be judged for it, or make the wrong impression? Maybe both. But it was an honest answer. “Always been a leader and a fighter. What I was raised for, to tell ya' the truth.” He shrugged, not sure what else to add. It really was all that simple for him.

His ears peaked at the following words. Carefully, he appraised the man, a sincere hint of respect and also curiosity deep in his gaze. “Course you could. I’m the kind that lives by loyalty—givin’ it and expectin’ it back. Ain’t nothin’ more valuable in a crew like ours.” And he meant every word.

No truer words. “Family first. Always.” He agreed, his words a solemn promise. One he would never break. He never had before, and he wouldn't start now.

“How many folks we got here so far?” If he was to be looking out for those who were now his own, he would need to know just how many and who they all were. Eventually, he'd know them all by face and name. But for now, what Callahan could provide would have to suffice.

Only three? Seemed a small crew, but they could make do until their numbers crew.

“It ought to grow quick, I reckon.” He shrugged, hoping his words were true. But he was content with the smaller lot for now. It would make for easier settlement and less names to remember.

Rhett was not the most patient of men, but for this circumstance, he would have to try his best. “Right.”

When the suggestion of continuing on with a patrol, he shifted his eager feet. “I agree with ya' on that. May as well.”
