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

Vendrussel wasn't sure what she just watched.

She thought she saw something fall from the sky, and curiosity got the better of her. Sometimes birds fell for a swooping to catch prey, or otherwise some lucky soul got a star ; but it didn't look like either, but a black substance that wasn't narrowed enough for a bird falling down. She approached the beach to where the side the other landed, and instead came across what seemed to be quite a small canid, riding.. Riding on a dolphin of sorts. The clicking was matchable, and she knew sometimes they were friendly — but riding one was new altogether.

A deadpan expression, the wolf being dropped off and a kisses departed as she stood in the trees, and finally came out with a, "who are you?"

From afar he looked to be a sturdy man, but when closer she noticed he was shorter then initially thought. Leaner, skinnier, not the bulk initially assumed but his colors shone through as something that reminded her of smoldering flames of a charred tree. He was black, touches of reds and white that belonged to the mountains than any sea that she knew, but Vendrussel looked over his shoulder, gazing to where the dolphin disappeared from. She lashed her tail, settling a gaze upon him once more with a curiosity of who he was, and claimed to be. Vesper.

"I am Vendrussel, Alpha of Dragonford. You are on ford land."

"You are on the Leviathan Sepulcher," her head swivvled, gesturing to around. Where peaks of spires emerged from the depths of the water, like a spine of a lizard continually toiling but forevermore in a frozen state of stone, "claimed by Dragonford Isle." The very place he stood where behind a grand forest remained tall and firm in the middle of the sepulcher. Hidden away from the continual breakers of the water, it was hard to spot from the Behemoth shore. She imagined though the raining mountains in the neighboring land could spot easier, "there are more beyond.."

"Where did you come from?" Soaked within the salt of the ocean and nothing more, even if she tried Vendrussel would not be able to detect packs. However the awful suspicion came from where the dolphins entered, and she still was a bit conflicted how to view that.

"I am afraid I am unfamiliar with that group." By word of mouth and travel around, Vendrussel knew a few packs here and there. She could name them but maybe not their location or even leaders. Such knowledge was voided and she did not seek them out, especially since many were not close. Though for those who were once in Highvalley she did try ; but was met with nothing but air. An absence, and when returned they were freshly gone.. There was another within Cloudrest as well, and had the chance to meet the boy but yet the leader. There was slight regret she did not personally go to meet, but neither did their own.

"Although.." she imagined it was the case as she looked at him, smiling lightly with pity, "many appear here, away from their original place. It's not unfamiliar to not know where one is."
