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

Vengeance is a disgusting, terrible character. I do not condone anything he does or thinks of IC, and though I enjoy writing him, he also disgusts me often. He is a villain and nothing more.

Caligula was doing his best, truly, but obstacle courses were only so plausible for a beast without thumbs. He'd told Eldra to expect one if she wished to work on her agility, however, and he was determined to pull through. If the pack had been larger, he would have insisted the others join in as well.. but alas, he didn't have that kind of pull over anyone. Caligula was nothing more than an enthusiastic subordinate at the end of the day.

The ghost secured a branch between two rocks, tugging on it slightly to test the sturdiness. It was high even for him, but Eldra would make the decision to go over or below. The course was littered with snap decision making obstacles, and though none would result in death, there were a few he intensified. Falling to the left or right off a balancing log would result in dropping several feet into a rocky gorge, for example. Hesitance was not something she could afford to have.

So caught up in his work, Caligula didn't realize his lord's approach until it was almost too late. The putrid stench stung his nostrils and, fighting a grimace, the wolf barked a greeting towards the approaching form. Henlo.

Caligula was pleasantly surprised to see a lack of all-consuming anger across Vengeance's face. Perturbed, yes, but the ghost had come to know that simply as his face -- resting bitch face, as they said. There was no fire shooting from his mouth when he spoke, however, and Caligula was delighted to see their conversation would only be mildly uncomfortable. It was the most he could hope for nowadays.

He said nothing to the question. Caligula could only imagine how Vengeance would respond if he said yes, he was interrupting and could he come back later? His tail flicked at his hocks, amused at his own thoughts.

Ah, so the king was leaving. "What can I do to help while you're gone?" the beast rumbled, assuming that's why he has come so far to discuss things. It wasn't like Vengeance had to ask permission to leave, so Caligula could only guess. "Is everything well?" Surely if something was amiss, Ven would have told them by now.

There was a shift in Caligula's demeanor as Vengeance declared his reasoning for arrival. The pale wolf was to be left in charge of the pack while its warlord was away, and there was nothing he took more seriously than leadership. It had been, after all, most of what his past life consisted of -- leading, protecting, training. Although before he had been given a few more hands to assist with it all, the pack was small enough not to pose much of a concern. He hoped.

"Of course," he said with a nod. "I would be glad to be of service." In whatever capacity Vengeance required, really. It was also good to know nothing was amiss, though he was curious about the information to be shared. Not enough to ask about it, of course, but enough that he was intrigued. A few days, he could handle that.

Well, he hadn't anticipated being thrust to the head of the pack for a few days, but there he was. Vengeance left little room for debate on the matter as he turned to depart, swiftly exiting the scene as quickly as he came. Caligula pondered over the newest recruit and shrugged; if the boy proved unruly, he would simply enlist Eldra to put him down. They would lose a member, but cutting off an infected limb saved the body from dying.

With that, he returned to his work of building.

{exit!}
