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 Covenant of Sins is a shadowy and malevolent group devoted to the embodiment and propagation of the seven primal vices: Wrath, Greed, Gluttony, Envy, Lust, Pride, and Sloth. Each sin serves as a pillar of power within the covenant, governed by its own Exarch and led by the Grand Sin who exemplifies its essence.

Bound together by a shared hunger for domination and corruption, the covenant manipulates the mortal realm, exploiting humanity's weaknesses to expand their influence. Through temptation, destruction, and control, they weave a web of chaos, turning individuals, kingdoms, and even gods into pawns for their grand design of eternal darkness and sin-fueled supremacy.

Currently Seeking
Desired Individuals that embody one or more of the seven deadly sins and wish to utilize their talents and imperfections for the benefit of the covenant as a whole. This group is intended for those who consider themselves outcasts, undesirables, and lost souls who seek to be corrupted by the many sins that stand to rule within the darkness.

UFA Need a character or want pre-made connections? Feel free to reach out to any member of leadership, or a current member of our intended roster to discuss potential plots and concepts.

Adoptables

Here are some adoptables that I have decided to add to hopefully spark a little more interest in the group by providing some partially customizable, pre-made connection toons. For each of these, there will be bits you are able to freely alter, as well as decide what connection you make like to have had with Sinister in their past life (they do not have to have known Sinister at any point in time, but can be first meeting him in Canis!). While I am providing creative liberties for each of these individuals, I do ask that names and sin factions/ranks remain the same. As for personalities, they should be loosely based on the breif descriptions that go along with them—however, you can expand on that however you please. Any other noted details of the character will be up to you to decide upon!

These are all first come, first serve. No application needed! I do ask that you have some idea of how you might portray them, but nothing too fancy. If you are interested, please message Rose/Grim on discord! ^^

Adopt 1 (available)

Name: Thorne
Age: Between 2-4 years
