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

Though the storm was an ominous warning to foretell, she didn't let it cloud her mind often. It simply was within a distance view, there was unmoving but no matter how close she seemed to get, it was like it was fixed on a distance. She didn't like it, and though for the time being simply lived to learn with it. In eventual time it would either come full force, or disappear like any other. 

Her paws took her to the night, beyond the few lands and seeing.. The glowing, of some. She had seen such ways before, the way the water seemed to glow with each step and each wave ; truly a beauty to know and but an unknown reason why. It seemed like everything strange started to attract to herself as of lately, and she could only mildly chuckle at the coincidence, while finding herself gradually dropping to the beach's view.

Swam too the isle in a curious light, she lay on her back as the strange blue light washed her pelt — and lulled away to the sound of the sea.

The man had thought of the fiery warrior from time to time as he adventured through these new lands, allowing himself to be distracted by anything big or small. It was a whole new world and since he had died so young, Olaf wasn't wasting time. He spent little time really thinking on the how he had ended up here, allowing it to fade away into some dark recess of his mind. He was much more focused on the excitement that was this new life, his new body and new abilities by being this big and this age.

Night had settled but he remained awake and full of life, drawn over the small stretch of water when he had caught sight of distant glowing. It was how he found himself breaking the edge of the water and pulling himself from the depths and in awe, he moved through the glowing water. "Wicked," he mused, drenched from head to paw but uncaring as he waded through the shallow depths as blue illuminated against his black and white, wet fur. Curiously the man lifted a white paw to prod through the water, his vibrant gaze reflecting the glow. ^^

"Came to enjoy the dew?" She so mused upon the tranquility of her state as the waves wafed back and forth, taking the blue glow back to the ocean itself, then pushing it back. The island itself seemed rather lackluster, a typical one with a few standing trees and overall a small woodlands ; nothing to truly point about besides the few chripings of midnight owls she could so hear at the back of her head. Ears twitching to the sounds, enough where it caught the smell of someone slow encroaching to the island, through the waters.. The sound of the splashing and swimming to.

Though upon her back she moved enough to take a notice of a tall man, black and gray to the view itself. He slipped into the night, a disguise as some wouldn't be able to properly see in darkness if not for the few lighter colors, and a vivid gaze.. But the strange lights brought out his features. They glowed and shined through, and she couldn't help but continue wondering what kind of the lights live in the waters itself? They stayed every night, and never seemed to leave itself. Many surely came to also see the view, just as she was doing.

But the question remained, just as the dark clouds were above ; what were they?
