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

It was an afternoon spent in meditation. The commander had become fond of introspection which she had seldom, if ever, practiced before. She was learning more about herself and it allowed her to be honest about the things she'd tried to hide. 

For example, as long as they had known each other, Ying couldn't recall having ever told @Hydra how formidable a mother she'd proven herself to be. Her record as a leader, mentor, and ally were commendable, but her ability to rear children was redoubtable. Ying wondered if she'd done half as good with the few she'd had.

Someday she might seek answers. Today, she would just ponder.

Ara didn't know many outside her immediate family. Packmates about but none that she drew close to, and even now a year had passed by.. She was able to roam as she pleased, and realized that home, was always meant for her. Yet she didn't know anyone too well, and would frown and ponder whether what to to do about so. She knew of Desdemona, but the lady had long since passed away and now was sit in an infinity of.. What to do?

In the distance there was a woman, she was bleached with white and minor blacks upon her. An opposite of what most in Empyrean look like, a rampant look of blacks swarmed the mountains as well as a few browns within the mixture, such as the plethora of her brothers and sisters, and father alike. Others were a strange mix, but she was somewhat enchanted by the snow-white that Ara couldn't help but continue looking..

Spatial awareness was only one trait of any good hunter, and especially one of a fighter; after years of practicing both trades, the commander could easily tell that there was someone staring from behind. She remained calm, fully aware of her pack's generally familial attitude, and turned a curious eye over her shoulder revealing the mauve-colored scars littered across her maw.

Flashing a brief smile, Ying called an invitation for the curious onlooker to come closer. “It is less rude to ask than it is to stare at someone”, she commented. The aged woman turned fully around then, so that the two might be facing one another whether Ara continued with her approach or not. “So I will ask why you are watching me?”

She approached, "I had heard you are a war chief," someone other then her mother, the Matriarch. Ara tail flickered as she lookd at the other in neutrality and curiosity, someone who was well-received by Hydra but not someone Ara knew well. She had a daughter though, that was no longer at the mountains — was she the same as her mother? Ara did not have many friends, as most of the time she would hang with her siblings — many who were not too pleased with her attitude as a child, and did not share a close bond. Though she suppose the closest was to @Cygnus, the two rough-housing and hunting together on occasion. She would also admit a fondness for most if not all her siblings, they all had separate persona's she enjoyed. She wondered whether if @Raiden would want to seek an adventure, knowing he takes much after their father.

"I want to ask about pointers," point blank the young Ostrega asked if she had gotten the chance of Ying's attention. Someone other then family, to lend a paw.
