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

there's something in the snow.

wind catches wing as he circles ever lower, the vibrant blue of his gaze fixed, steady, on the blackened speck below. curiosity grasps him by the gizzard as he gradually nears, a grip so warm that it rivals the chill that forever permeates this land. sýnin tucks his wings close, taking the last few feet at a steep downward incline. bleached feet alight upon the snow with the most inaudible of 'puffs,' his light frame inconsiderable enough to not disturb the smooth surface.

for a second, he just sits, breathing cool air in through his nares and out through an open beak. then, with hopping steps, he moves forward, intent.

the thing moves - and the white raven jumps back, a startled croak bursting forth from his throat. it turns, and sýnin's wings flare open with an audible snap. he launches himself into the air without a second of hesitation, panicked caws echoing as he once more swings out in a wide circle around the whatever-it-is. one eye sticks, transfixed, as a canine form rises from the depths of the snow, shaking flakes from its pelt with an abrupt movement that has yet another anxious noise escaping the raven.

sýnin clacks the sharp edges of his beaks together as his momentum takes him back over the stranger, and he calls down, "valdr! wolf! who, who?"
