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

he had not seen her. coiled tight in the space behind him, leeching off the warmth he exuded in a land so strange. she thought him a rock in her hazy stupor, pulling herself into a dream tooth and nail. dreaming the rock would turn into, well, something else was one of the weirder dreams she’d had since arriving in the oasis.

she was but a plush puddle of cream at his backside, wrapped delicately within the strands of green and petals of vibrant hues. perhaps not sleeping soundly but neither petrified in the presence of a large form. he was heavy, that much she could discern from where she laid, his heavy footfall practically thunder in comparison to the soft patter of her own.

saira wished to unravel, to present herself in the face of this odd dream but curiosity kept her wrapped within the warmth he’d left. the warmth she now coveted. would he see her? was he a threat? or was he the very reason her dream bloomed, her mind welcoming a stranger with open arms?

it was curiosity that kept her prone. wonder that alighted every ending as the pause stretched on. would he attack her when she could not defend herself? would he envelope her again, curl upon her frame and offer more of the warmth she’d been feeding on? or would he simply walk away, cease any connection in the face of exploring whatever else lay beyond them within the dreamscape?

it seemed even he didn’t know as his voice rolled over her, a soothing baritone crooning to her as if he did not wish to truly wake a sleeping woman. how sweet. gentlemanly. had she truly been so blessed? what other blessings was she bestowed? could she gather her bearings quick enough to stop him from leaving, whisper to him in one word that she desired for him to stay, to keep her company?

this was a dream. she could do more than that, could she not? saira’s head lifted in a hurry as her eyes flitted open, panic riddled her figure as if she was too frightened to bid such a stranger goodbye so soon. but he was there, sitting, staring at her and waiting as if he had nowhere else to be. as if waiting for her.

her lips pulled into a small smile, sleepy and crooked, as she settled her gaze upon him. “you stayed.” two words. together. strung in a perfect harmony and leaving her without strain. how perfectly normal.
