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

Some time had passed since their arrival in this stunning land of snow and ice. Kirain stretched, her muscles stiff from inactivity, and a low, aching growl rumbled in her stomach. She had been too enthralled by the new sights and scents to bother with food, but now her body protested her neglect. It was time to hunt.

Rising to her feet, she scanned the landscape beyond her temporary shelter. The forest seemed the most promising, its depths veiled in shadow, teeming with unknown possibilities. As she trotted past @Nanuktaaq she called out, her voice light with invitation.

“Nanuk! I do believe it’s time to hunt. Care to accompany me?”

Flashing her a bright smile, she continued toward the tree line, her pace steady and sure. At the forest’s edge, she lowered her head, pressing her nose to the cold earth. A deep inhale, searching, sorting, analyzing. The faintest scent teased her senses, and she set off, moving with careful precision.

There were too many unknowns. She had no way of knowing what game might be available, nor how scarce food had become in the depths of winter. But she had to try. Starvation was an unforgiving foe, and she had no intention of falling to it.

Pushing those thoughts aside, she refocused. Hunting required patience, awareness, and above all, sharp instincts. And she would need all of them now.
