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 great plains, oh how they reached out eagerly in an attempt to span from edge to edge. With so much space it was a wonder how more had not settled here, especially as crowds began to form to the west. With time those below would come and see the beauty that awaited, but for now, this land and its wonders would remain a mystery to most. A few had caught the great wolf's eye as they wandered south. Creatures of all kinds were beginning to venture to the eastern reaches in hopes of finding their own corner of paradise.

To the deity, every place on this great earth had its blessings and with them, slices of paradise that had been scattered all around. There was no one spot to be desired, but a whole world of wonders. For a moment, Astra leaned down from the heavens and found their paws upon the grass. A shot of light flew through their fur, and a great vibration came to their body and those within a few miles. Like a young pup, the god found their feet again upon the grasslands. And they ran.

Running. It was a freeing experience. A starlit beast ran upon seemingly never-ending hills and plateaus. Astra found themselves tired and panting before pressing their heels into the soil and pulling back to their native skies. Whoever saw them on land might have seen any form of Astra, for touching the ground could transform them for the mortal mind. But Astra could not stay to explain to their beloved below, for the great forests held many who needed them.
