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 smell of blood rose her to attention, as did it always. It was a scent familiar to her yet could not quite pin it down. The last fight she had was with those of Dragonford and the smell alone had her itching for a war she did not know would ever come to an end. It's been too long. They had many in their ranks yet two pregnant females and five children among them. How many did Vendrussel have at her helm? When Northfall marched upon the islands, how many would risk their lives to save Vendrussel's own?

Snorting, she followed the trail. Rather, came closer toward it from the front. What she was greeted with was the man she had once been tearing into. The traitor of Dragonford. The one of two, now. He had avoided her for long enough. Really, she had been avoiding him too. Sunflower eyes narrowed and legs widened, she stares down the white behemoth. “Has life on 'the other side' been treating you any better?”

He snorted, his words flat. Her stance remained aggressive and now it acted dominately so as well as her tail changed. Instead of rigid behind her it rose high. Whether he lived her or not, he had decided on his own accord to come here to join their ranks. He knee it would be a challenge but he wouldn't be challenging the Regent of this pack lest he wished to be put in his proper place in this hierarchy.

“Then why are you here, if you do not love your home? If you do not open yourself up to us in order to gain our trust?” She speaks calmly, despite her stance. He had been reclusive, keeping at bay from everyone. The pack could never trust him if they did not know him. “Northfall has no room for those who don't have pride for their pack or loyalty to its members.” He had been here long enough and still had not shown to hold either.

If he was doing more then his fair share, she wasn't seeing it. No one was seeing much of anything with how he had been so distant with everyone. He must have thought her a fool, to think she felt he had only been avoiding her. Sindri had eyes and ears everywhere and there was not a thing that Ragnar was aware of that she was not.

“Because of just me? You avoid making relations with anyone in your entire pack because of me?” A scoff. She had caught him in his bullshit and she wasnt going to let it slide either. “I am happy you are so thoughtful of my opinions but you do not need to be a shadow to all just because I don't trust a thing that comes out of your fucking mouth.” She snarls and she mocks, watching his every move should he be the first to attack this round. Apparently Vendrussel had rubbed off on him, unable to see that he was the one who was wrong. But he could still fix that. She could not.

And unknowingly so, she would quote the exact same words back to him that he had only just yesterday said to Serenity. “Then you shouldn't have joined us if you have no trust in us.” She snorts, spatting on the earth between them as she turned to leave. She would not tell him to stay or to go. If his hatred for Vendrussel was greater then his hatred he had gathered towards her, he would make for a good warrior to their cause. She was no fool to think otherwise but that didn't mean she had to like him either.

He agrees. She didn't think he would, but he agrees with her. That his reclusive nature towards everyone in the pack including herself, was all because of her. She wouldn't say it, but she felt a sense of pride, that a man as imposing by sight alone as he was, had been forced to keep in the shadows because he wanted to avoid rubbing her the wrong way further. Little ol Sindri.

“I'm not asking you to.” She finally said, once he was finished. She didn't bother turning around- kept her back and ass to him, but did move her head around her foreleg to give him a look. “You keep saying 'those', 'you all', 'we'. I do not speak for all of Northfall when I say I don't like you or don't trust you- get it straight. If Ragnar invited you here, so be it. But don't let my judgement take it out on the whole pack.”

She shifts then, only half turning. A single paw remains lifted, for she is ready to go before they ended up loosing a member because both she and Aarkon couldnt shut their mouthes. “You do not trust me for attacking you, as a member of an enemy pack and I don't trust you, as you could very well be infiltrating us for all i know. So it seems we're at an impass.”

He was awfully contradicting and awfully paranoid. He had offered his services but why was the question? If he was in so much fear that everyone in the pack hated him and was out to get him, why did he stay? It made Sindri only not trust him more, only made her question further that there had to be some kind of secret motive or maybe he just really hated himself so much that he needed to prove that he could do some kind of 'righting the wrongs' in some kind of manner.

Then, she snorts. “I'd assume that you've faced war before, given your face.” Speaking on behalf of his scarred features which littered his body. “Just because Vendrussel did what she did with her own jaws doesn't mean she will be alone in this. Northfall is at war with Dragonford. I highly doubt those loyal to her would just hand her over to us.” But apparently, he wasn't loyal to her. Excuse Sindri for not assuming he was a traitor. Which apparently he was, given how he also now threatened to leave Northfall if he didnt have shit his way. Pathetic excuse for a pack animal.

“Thinking that getting a few cuts and bruises in a war without us sitting down and talking it out first is a fucking fantasy.” What a pussy. “Take it personal all you want, but it isnt.” She didn't care and didn't care if he stayed, either. It would be a loss, yes, but Aarkon was making it clear he wasn't staying here because he really cared about the pack. He seemed to only care about showing how much worth he was to the pack and how easily he could take it away from them if they didn't appease his needs. Which was flat out horrible, honestly. Sindri had expected him to be a reclusive asshole, but not this. This was just fucking disgusting.

“I'll leave you alone.” She then said lowly, flatly. And she would. She wanted nothing to do with him. He had gone from irritating her, her untrusting him, to him flat out sickening her with how he dangled himself in front of a hurting pack trying to avenge their daughter's death like a piece of prized meat. She felt the rage and disgust growing in her so much she began to shake and bile rose up into her throat and then....

BLECCCKKKK!!!
