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

Oydis was resting high up in a tree with a full belly of food from a recent hunt. But that wasn't the only reason her belly was distended. The young fossa was carrying her first litter of pups and was due to give birth soon, but not just yet. Oydis was completely aware she had trespassed on the territory of wolves. She never really liked wolves. Most of them centered their lives around their pack. Well, those who were in packs. Fossas usually lived alone so she didn't function in a group. She had more important things to worry about. She glanced every now and then to the ground from her place high above in the tree. It was a good thing wolves couldn't climb, giving her one less thing to worry about. She wouldn't tolerate any threat to her unborn pups. For now the expecting mother rested, planning to move on a little later on once she was fully rested.

Oydis' rest was interrupted by a voice from below. She looked down and saw it was something she hoped not to run into, but at the same time knew it was inevitable to meet. A wolf. The question was irrelevant, but Oydis decided to answer anyway. Her tone was uncaring and a bit harsh. "As long as I please. An expecting mother needs her rest. After all with my size I am no threat to you wolves so give me my peace." She knew this was not her territory, but she roamed from place to place as she pleased. She was a loner with no set territory of her own. Travelling was the norm, but she knew she would have to pick a territory to stay in for a short while when she gave birth. She would also have to move her pups from place to place so she wouldn't attract other predators, like the wolf she was speaking to. She would have to start looking for a den soon. Now her attention was on the wolf who posed no threat at the moment seeing it could not climb. After all, she could just jump to another nearby tree if she wanted to. The trees were abundant here and close together.

Oydis was irritated that her rest was ruined by this beast of a canine. She would have to stay away from the territory of wolves for the moment. Though, it was a shame that such a big creature was threatened by a creature of her size. She decided not to stay here under the gaze of this female brute. She quickly climbed down on the opposite side of the tree and sprinted off to the border from where she came. She has had her fill of wolves and their pack structure. In order to keep her pups safe she would have to keep away from these wolves. They were nothing but trouble, especially for a lone fossa like her.
