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

As soon as she had been able, Haku was on the move. She wouldn't go too far, but this freedom - this ability to move untethered - was addicting, to say the least.

She moved with no direction or purpose, basking in the midafternoon sun, oddly warm for this time of year but not overly so. The ground was hard packed beneath her feet, with plains stretching for miles in either direction.

It was overwhelming. It was terrifying. It was beautiful.

Tipping her head back, she let out a low howl, just because she could. Because there was no one there to silence her further. Because there was no one around her and she was alone and free to do whatever she wanted.

It was just too bad that Haku was not as aware of her surroundings as she might've thought.

Heaven wasn't made for the misfits.

The sun rained gold on prairie grass: waving fields of rippling wind showing on the ground surface. The birds sung overhead. The clouds were bubbling giants that held the big blue sky between their peaks. In the distance, the mountains just out of sight. Wildflowers bloomed in white speckles. Shrubbery sprouted from the earth and gave a life, a home, to the creatures that dwelled in the pass. Hares nested in many burrows, fluffy tails sometimes peeking out from bountiful hops leading off into the distance. Wolfsong echoed within the open air.

It was ugly.

The sun made the wet mud hot and gross. The tall grass blades tickled her nose. There were annoying songs buzzing in her batty ears. The clouds made the skylight fizzle in and out. The mountains were hard to see beyond the fields. The wildflowers were pimples on the surface that made the imp's nose all itchy, sneezing out in quick, rapid successions to try and expel the irritating stickies on her nose. Her paws sank into the squelchy ground. Shrubs were obstacles and almost as horrid as a mirage to come by with their many snippy snakes. 

A cottonmouth dangled dead around that dark neck.

The dark face broke through the field in front of the woman, unnerving. Careless. "Yah know something?" She'd get an answer. Done with receiving the none of them.
