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

"You get one chance, one opportunity..."
Cold, dark, a rush of numbing silence filtered through a mind that lay barely conscious as a gentle current pushed a lithe body through her wading waters. It was peaceful, and calming even as the mild rocking soothed any worries that may have disturbed the slumbering consciousness. Limbs float heavily as the cold of the water numbed the nerves, canceling any aches that may have occurred. It was a peaceful stagnation, one that left the imagination blank and undisturbed, leaving little for discussion upon waking.

Sleep became fleeting as the body was pushed haphazardly upon the land, leaving limbs to feel the biting cold of air hitting wet fur. Hidden orbs reluctantly open to reveal dazed green before lids blink repeatedly to interrupt the sleep clouding his mind. A groan of annoyance and slight pain from his tingling limbs left Kair to lay upon the damp ground for a few more minutes as he worked up the motivation to sit up. With curiosity, the beast observed his environment, wonder danced behind his eyes at the new land that greeted him. Slowly and with great effort from his uncooperative legs, Kair sat himself up only with a couple of stumbles and a handful of cruses. His head sat on a swivel as he digested where exactly he was.

The conclusion was that he had no idea, nor was there remembrance of how exactly he ended up here or in the water for that matter. With the grace of a newborn deer did he stand on four paws, the chill causing a slight shiver to course through his body as his legs wobbled unsteadily with the strain. Yet, Kair steps forward with the idea of figuring out exactly where he is and maybe how he got there.

His steps became more sure and decreased in their tripping the longer he walked, bringing back the blood flow and feeling back to his nerves. Fur still lay damp over his skin, leaving him still chilled and uncomfortable but it was bearable for the most part. Kair glanced around realizing the longer he stared the more of the land he still didn’t recognize and it left him slightly panicked. Until he remembered that he disliked the fellow wolves that were left behind and that, for some reason, made this change a lot easier. “They were boring anyway,” he whispered to himself, almost a little scared to break the quiet air around him.

So, he pushed forward with slow but deliberate steps in search of the next adventure he wished to partake in; rather that be within the land or with a companion.

"...To make a first impression so impress me and speak truthfully."

Miriam was foraging, she didn't really have a medics den to store herbs or the like, and thus rarely did concerning medical plants.. But she did with flowers! She liked nothing more then taking some of the bloomed flowers and taking them like a decoration. She attempted to usually do the one's that were already full-bloom, and would soon fall by the grace of autumn that was upon them. The maiden did not wish to pluck a life that was barely bloomed as well ; and was carefully going through the rows of flowers.. Ah, but of course avoiding the horses!

She lifted her head, humming lightly as she remembered she told herself she was going to move toward the mountains.. There was someone waiting for her, and she knew she would need to go find them eventually. A sigh followed, not for needing to, but realizing she was shirking her word!

She should haste over, but alas the sky was raining! "Oh dear," did Miriam say as she started to trot to find some cover, "oh, hello, did you too get caught in the rain?" and there was someone else within these fields, that were not a horse. Maybe he knew a place to take shelter.
