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

 olen pelkuri;
 she is wretched.

 and she should not have flown so far out — when shame stiffened the tendering pieces of her body and turned any words on her tongue bitter ash. she takes a breath; not yet heavied by what grows in her yet she stands quiet and still, silhouetting against mornlight snows. finds a frore-laden pond, and then the great unending surge of winter veils, eventually.
 she falls to daydreaming by it all, in the end; thinking of the boy @Helcaraxë that had not been hers but who had mended and broken her heart before his first true breath. thinking of the titan @Tiberius and how, for a moment, he had reminded her of whoever her shadowlove had once been. thinking of the rightful anger in @Valtyr, and the far, far too late counsel of @Olive gone unsought, unheard;
 but she cannot let herself linger on the more delicate wonders of the blushpale @Eira, and what it is between them that she is wary to name. if he were here now —

 her lone gray eye presses shut; wound as tightly as it can go, and remains so for several harried heartbeats before it finally narrows open.

 whatever it is that stands before her remains blurrydark at the edges;
 there might as well have been a spirit to call her name.

desa was minding her own business, thank you very much, and had no intention of terrorizing pregnant women today.

she'd taken to staying behind while her grandmother scouted the nearby area. half-grown and spoiled as she was, desa could hardly keep up with both her training and the arduous journey around pack territory. the pair of them were having to make many stops in their winding path around the packs so that she could rest. it was deeply embarrassing for the young sentinel. at her age she should be more than fit enough to make the journey.

imagine her surprise when a little woman delivered herself right to her temporary doorstep! desa peeked her head out from behind the veil, staring with a mixture of concern and bewilderment. never before had she seen such a small woman! indeed, the women of her homeland often grew to stand head and shoulders above this pale apparition. for a moment, desa entertained the possibility of her being nothing more than a spirit. the burgeoning smell of new life quickly chased those fears away.

it also meant that she had to check on the woman.

desa doesn't bother with a cautious approach. the wraith hardly looks fit enough to threaten a girl of her stature. she was actually a little worried that the poor thing would keel over then and there and leave the heiress with quite the mess to explain to her grandmother. stopping just far enough away to be polite, desa reaches her head down so her eyes were level with the stranger. oh, dear, that was a heck of a scar. "are you okay?" then, impulsive and awkward, desa says; "you're very small."
