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

 Asny had awoken in a flurry of snow and wind which clouded her vision — a blizzard, to be more specific. Though try as she might to navigate her surroundings and figure out where she was, the woman was ultimately lost, blinded, and overwhelmed. At one point, she’d become so desperate upon her wandering feet that the ground had seemed to dissolve beneath her like air. Eyes widening to see that just beneath her feet, she’d stepped off of a cliff — yet even as her vision returned to her, it was far too late to do anything about. She’d fell.

 — and when she opened her heavy, half-lidded eyes again, the hunger overwhelmed all of her senses.

 For how many days or nights she lay unconscious at the bottom of the mountain — with the side of her head encrusted with snow and dried blood, Asny was not aware in the slightest. Yet the pained rumblings in her stomach told her she had gone far too long without a proper meal. So at the first scent of the caribou trail, her mouth watered like a starved, caged beast. Her pace was sloppy and unpracticed, making the herd scatter rather easily, but her sights lay on the young caribou calf that was far too slow to keep up with the older herd. Young, scared, injured from the nips she placed against its heals….had Asny become so desperate to take a life so young?

 No — she couldn’t be picky. She needed to survive or starve losing this chance.

 As fate would have it, however, her vision blurred into a hallucination. One runaway calf became two, and the moment she fell and tripped against a thick blanket of snow, her meal was gone. A sharp pain engulfed Asny’s head and made the woman squint her eyes shut and place a paw against her crown. She must still be concussed……

Thank you for your patience <3
