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

 days turned to weeks, and the image of her original friend began to flicker in and out of view. his lumbering frame perfectly paired with an equally gruff voice. his dark pelt and bold stripes along his legs a fading image. at this point, the strawberry-sweet girl clung to the painting of him gifting her flowers. those cute, tender, little pink flowers that matched her fur. but she couldnt wait forever... or so she thought. her parents had always said if she was to get lost, to remain in the last place they saw her. if callan was her true friend, he would come back to find her. and there was no way in the goddesses treasure, that she was going to look like a fool with no friends!

 aerwyn was totally good at making friends! it was her odd special interest... when others could keep up. uncomfortable silence befalls onto them? she clumsily racks her brain for a new topic. someone is midly interested in something she is? immediate tangent with minimal pauses for breaths. many would say shes a bit.. "much". too chatty. annoying. irritatingly cheerful. but she was kind and she was caring. no one cared about others the way aerwyn cared for her friends. so when a fleeting scent wafted by, the woman took it as her golden ticket. to a new friend! hopefully!

 forcing any of her usual negative and awkward emotions into a tiny box, it didnt take long for the pink crusted babe to find the youngster. she smelled of ripe plums and amber, mixed with a scent she was unfamiliar with. either way, it complimented her ashen pelt. it was as if she was crafted from graceful and elegance, plucked directly from a swan. it was unnerving.

 "hello!", the woman barked with a cheerful and wide smile. her ivory canines glistening in the sunshine as she bounded over. her movements were fluid. loose. her posture emanating that of a friend rather that foe. there was nothing about her that screamed horrifying, anger, or malice. aerwyns entire being radiated light and compassion. she engulfed the sun and shared its warmth.

 "im aerwyn! nice to meet ya", she beamed. "do you want to play?"
