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

He'd heard the sounds. The screams, the sobs. They echoed through the valley, beckoning forth any to respond.

Eyes narrowed and heart hitched, he felt two very different emotions. Fury, that someone might be trespassing on their land. And then there was a hint of sympathy. No one made a cry for help quite so frighteningly without an honest reason to.

Racing across the plains, he came to a screeching halt just a yard short of the wobbly thing. Tilting his head, he studied the situation carefully. Weighing his options, really.

With a slow pace, he inched a bit closer. Clearing his throat, he spoke out, blatantly interrupting. “Cryin’ ain’t gonna get you far, ‘cept maybe a pair of eyes you don’t want watchin’.” And maybe he was that pair of eyes. But this valley belonged to Callahan. To him. To the gang. No one would soil it without being called out for it.
