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

Silence. Stillness. Darkness.

And then there was light.

Her eyes blinked open slightly. The light—it hurt. It took moments for her to adjust.

Then, when she shifted her weight, she froze. Why was she so close to the ground? And when she looked down, she saw no feet or hands. But in their place, paws. Fur. Claws. And a... snout?

Confusion set in, followed by panic. What the absolute heck had happened? She wanted to let loose a string of curses. But as mama always said, it wasn't becoming of a lady. So she withheld.

Testing out a step, she wobbled. Unsure of how to feel, she frowned, then lowered slowly onto her... uh—haunches? That was what that was called. Yeah.

Thoughts jumbled through her mind. She tried recalling her memories, but not much came. Nothing other than a few simple things: her sister. Her gang. And then there was Callahan. Oh, how she missed all of it. But she couldn't mourn for long. She needed to move. If the gang had taught her one thing, it was never to leave yourself in a vulnerable position.

Glancing around her surroundings, she got back up on her feet and tested a few more steps. Once she had the hang of this four-legged thing, she could begin her travels into a land unknown.



She'd walked for hours, it felt like. And she was growing weary. Close to giving up hope, she paused by a tree to catch her breath.

Then a voice rang out. Familiar, she was sure. But who? How?

Perking her ears up, she tread further, cautious.

And when she got closer, she scented the air. “Hello?” She called back, tentative. “Anyone there?”
