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

The world wasn't meant to be wistful. It wasn't soft, there wasn't peace, and the only possible reprieve was when one slept. Even then, in the wake of unconsciousness, not everyone was so lucky. Not everyone woke with the sensation of accomplishment, the lightness of a night full's sleep. But him, he woke within a dream, again. Colder now than the one before, he woke beside the soft drawl of a flowing river.

Something familiar, something lurking along the edge of his mind, probing his every thought. What was it? What kept his focus?

It was not her. His golden bloom. The absence of light within this one was evidence of that, but it was something, still. Something that slithered around him through the grass, nipping at his heels and urging him forward. A figure, cast in the darkness of night, lay idly. “Do you wish to will it away?” The dream, the remnants of this world that consumed their minds.

His voice was soft against the lull of the night, ragged still but curious, wondering of the figure curled upon themselves.
