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 night was startlingly dark but cloudless, perfectly framing the bright red moon that hung bloated in the middle of the sky. It would be far more of a haunting visage than it already was had he never seen it before. It was a bit of a perplexing rarity sure, but nothing new; the moon changed colors every now and again, for various reasons he wasn't privy too.

He wasn't the stargazing type.

Still... In this situation, it did haunt him a little more than it usually would, the red hue portrayed an unsettling and unnatural mood, ever so slightly dying the shimmers in the lake water red. Laying betwixt the brush and the lake's shore with most of him well blended with the earth (save his white points), his chin settled on one of his paws as his eyes stared up at it in idle thought. The ivory antlers of the fallen elk he'd dressed lay comfortably at his feet, another one of his paws protectively brushing against it.

Again he was trying to recall more of what led up to this sudden shift in reality, but it was as good as useless a venture anymore. Nothing was coming to mind, not a fucking thing.

Maybe it would come to him someday, maybe it wouldn't. Either way, he couldn't keep lamenting on memories he'd seemingly lost, even if there would always be that nagging feeling of him having forgotten something. It was beyond time to move forward, just as he had after the burn. Find purpose once again. Live on.

Where he was going he wasn't so sure yet, but the scent of another pack wafted in on the wind whenever it came from the north or the east.

It was funny how much Miriam attempted to sway away from the temperate, her heart yearned to what was outside of the land, and yet she was always pulled back to the familial forests. Maybe it was how she found herself firstly awaken within it, and there was a tie between her soul of the magic that held firm in the region.. Nontheless her soul tried to remain but her heart always yearned to the outside ; she continued letting the wind pull and twist as it so pleased as she fell for it's whims.

But maybe it was the moon that was holding this firm. It was often a sign of something to come, although many marked it was of a sign of something bad to come. However, it was the beginning of what represented a change, and however the person saw to it, is where the change would occur. To the good, and to the bad, Miriam's gaze looked to the blood moon sky with a mystery. What was it that the Goddess wanted to share of her own? Or was it the land itself that was through the changing? The stars remained bright and beautiful, still with every sparkle it took, and the only change was the color of the moon.

"Oh, hello there. It's been quite an interesting night, isn't it?"
