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

callahan had been stayin' out longer, almost as if avoiding his responsibilities back home. he spent the recent days roaming the mountain range, camping in caves he found or out on overlooks. the truth was, he needed his freedom—especially if he were entrusted with leading the gang. if he weren't goin' to be like levi, he had to have his moments to roam.

but after spendin' close to a week away, the man had decided to descend from his hideaway and return to the rest of the gang. the new members were still needin' guidance and chances to adjust, and his absence was not be very helpful. cal wanted them to feel like they were welcomed, and him hidin' away was not doin' that.

though cal knew the emergence of newcomers would be a persistent thing, the possessive thing within him reared its ugly head whenever a new arrival appeared in his valley. he let out a brief “who're you?” as he came up to the man, his brows hanging low over his eyes. his lip curled with a quiet growl, a sense of territorialism rising within him. callahan stood tall, chest rising with his steady breathing and confident attitude. he weren't lookin' for a fight, but he'd give one if they wanted it.

this was shorter but im hoping to work on that <3

 There is no safe return of his call, instead, there is nothing for a while. Nothing but open mountains that don't rust with the umber color he's grown up around his whole life, but with verdant grasses and tinted snowy tops. A land full of life. And he realizes that he can't possibly be the only one here — but could he be the only one of them that was here?

 The familiar sound of pawsteps made the male's head snap around, finding the source closer than he assumed him to be. His pawsteps more muted against the grass than the normal clicking of nails across the red rock. Rebel's eyes flew to the stranger's neck, finding it untethered by any chain or pendant, the lack of indentations on his fur from where one might have been. The stranger's voice caught him off-guard; assertive and clear, his stance on the defensive, which was to be expected. Bel's still felt weary, yet his heart hammered unevenly, “Rebel.” The cadet finally found his voice unscathed by the dryness of his throat. “My name.” Bel clarified, his gaze unrelenting as he studied the other; his stature was like Kemp's, way taller than he was, and built like bison, ready to take on whatever was thrown at him.

 There were so many questions that fought over one another to be asked first, one trambling the other, holding his breath so he didn't stutter. “I'm sorry, I... I don't know where I am.” There's a pause in his voice as his gaze fixated on the area behind the stranger, seeing the mountains cut down and open into an endless horizon, then back to the other, “Are there...” He didn't quite know how to ask this question, if there were gods here or not, so he pushed that question down; he'd find out sooner or later on his own. “No, uh,” He could blame it on the fact that his head was spinning, still unable to grasp the concept of being alive. “I mean, do you mind tellin' me where I am?” He hated reliance on anyone else but his own, but Bel didn't have a choice. In fact, this could be the only wolf for miles that would have some answers for him.

no worries at all! my replies flux in length sometimes!
