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

It felt like days that he'd been traveling through the land of ruins. But maybe only hours. Or minutes. How the hell was he supposed to know? This place was a maze.

A barren land. Dust traveled and trailed him with each step. At least now he had more secure feet beneath him, carrying his mass and increasing his pace. Slow was not his preference, especially when a goal was to be met. Staying in place was not an option. Not unless he found the one place he would make home.

It took great attention to notice the flare of brush in the distance. A snapping branch and a rustle of leaves. Someone was here.

Crouching low, he waited. Impatient, but curious enough to stop and watch. This land seemed incapable of harboring life other than his own. But maybe he wasn't the only foolish enough to wander in a place such as this. Or unlucky enough to waken here.

"I know you're out there."

A voice. Someone was definitely there. But they knew he was there too.

Like a shadow emerging from the depths, his mass flattened the terrain below, feet crunching against earth. Nostrils flaring, he took in the small form in the distance. Wolf. No threat, as he assumed. But that could change.

Careful, calculating steps carried him closer, eyes boring into the figure of the unknown. 

His voice refused to give in. To give away whatever they were seeking. He would only watch, for now. Perhaps listen, should they speak more. But until it felt less of a waste, he would give little care, aside from feeding his curiosity. This was the first entity of life he'd encountered so far. Maybe it would be a fruitful discovery. Or maybe not. Only time would tell.

Peculiar. That was all this scene was.

First, she acted mighty. Tough. Demanding. But now? Small. Demure. Helpless.

A trickster. And oh, how he hated her type.

"You wouldn't think of leaving a lady out here, would you?"

She was baiting him. That much was obvious. But he wasn't an easy fish to catch. He wouldn't bite the lure, now matter how delicious it sounded.

Snorting, he emerged carefully from the brush, broad shoulders rolling to appease the protesting ache from standing still so long. “You don't seem all that ladylike,” He taunted without care, voice gravelly, and piercing gaze distrustful.
