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

Her daughters wandered off, somewhere in the woods to find plants and grubs. She was left alone for the moment — a blessed moment — afforded a luxury she otherwise would not have back home: peace. Not that she didn't love her daughters. On the contrary, she was amazed by their voracious appetite for learning everything around them. It was...too much, combined with their current situation.

It did feel strange to be alone, even in protected territory. But the swirl of lupine scent reminded her that she was not alone, not truly. There was someone somewhere, in every corner...

There, for example. A wolf, crouching, eyes locked on something in the distance. She thought it was Celnes at first, but that was quickly corrected. It was one of her daughters. Edith.

She huffed softly, alerting Edith to her presence behind her. She saw the boar, watching it intently. When was the last time she'd eaten red meat?

The girl looked perturbed by Mooksgm'ol's arrival, which...fair, she had to admit. The boar continued snuffling about in the stream as if it were in the safest place in the world, unaware of the two predators eyeing it. “You can catch dem boar on your own?” she whispers, her eyes on the boar as she speaks. “No help?” the idea amazed her. Edith was not only young, but a wolf. Boars were massive, at least the ones she had encountered. She wanted to see if Edith really was up for the challenge.

She grunted in quiet affirmative. She'd never seen a wolf hunt like this before, though part of her doubted that such a little creature could. She wondered if Célnes would raise boastful creatures, though she figured part of that may simply lie in being of royalty. The idea still felt strange to her — bears held little regard for bloodline; even other Mooksgm'ol like her were not revered, only respected, and even this could be taken away.

She tilted her head towards the boar. “Show me?” she asks. It's a quiet, subtle challenge of the girl's skill. But she is curious nonetheless.

Her lips twitched as she held back a smile. Being with her daughters — Siilgit especially — had long trained her in the ways of faking her appearance, and hearing the boasts and lies of children. Edith, while a different species, was no different. Mooksgm'ol took one last look at the boar, confirming her suspicions. “I look forward to it,” she said before lumbering away without another word.
