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

A man with a familiar scent was lingering around the island, and it was not the cousins of @Kei. Rather it reminded her of the camel man that she so lost long ago, someone who was following her after but a pure coincidence of fate. Though she could be wrong, but for Vendrussel, she needed to know whether it was a friend or foe lingering to the isle.

She had wondered where the man had gone off to, had he bested her to the coast? "Wolf?" she so called out to the white man, who stared at her with his bicolored look. Though the question truly was, how long had he been on this island and hadn't come to her directly, and if anyone else had met? Sometimes Vendrussel would mention to Kei about the offhand members that were wandering, though pledged that they may be, one was wandering at the beaches, and the other, who was lost, now had shown himself.

She approached with a raised brow, a silence between as it demanded answers, on why he was here, and where had he gone?

She couldn't help but be surprised. The man after all, was once beside her within the endless desert before disappearing to no where. She of course, held concerns, and yet they were so new to each other she had wondered if he simply found a place elsewhere. It was a shame, when she first thought of it, that the first companion gained was but lost away. Though Vendrussel would never be aware his mysterious disappearance was a sudden departure to the ocean, where she was still eons away.

As her dream had come ; eventually the northern dragon moved on in thoughts, and gained even more companions. 

Yet the man once said something like they were destined together, that wolves were to be a form together. She didn't form such a thought just yet during that time, and rather was waving her way through but endless wandering. Though now, it was obvious by her newly claim and scent of others, the tides have changed, and she was an Alpha. The woman looked upon him with a dubious gaze, before turning to but a small smile.

"Follow me," she said, diving into the waters.

cameo


The shadow had lingered along the rocks, her pelt binding her to the island shores as she patrolled the outer reaches, not that there was any threat. Venny spoke of those who lingered at a distance, though she had barely seen the faces of other wolves. A blotch on the rocks would catch her attention though. A man of white with wide scarring that crossed his face. There was no mistaking it, he was the nameless wolf from before.

His presence went unaddressed when she first found him. Their first encounter happened on another shore much further south, yet even then he spoke of Venny. She had no doubt that he was one of the nameless faces her friend had spoken of, but she had no interest in approaching him again either. Not yet. Instead, she lingered from a raised perch, the golds of her eyes the only distinguishing feature against the inky stone.

Vendrussel would approach him before she was noticed, though the words they exchanged led to the storm kissed diving into the salty brine of the sea. Undoubtedly he would follow, and the black dragon had an idea of just where they might be going. Taking her own path, she would stick to the mainland, but climb higher for a better view.

A shadow that she was ; a black dragon peaking from the afar on her perch. Perhaps she knew what Vendrussel was to do. As all who come to the claim, will always end in the same fate. For what was not a bond then all dive to the depths below, and in trust to survive - to risk one's own life to be beside the dragons of the northern coasts. She smiled at such a thought, of a man who always kept such a stoic look, how will he react to his own downfall?

As she swam through the waters, occasionally appearing back.. Within the depths of the water he swam, a sore thumb from the blackened ocean as he was that of pure white. Maybe the man suited that of the desert more, and yet his single blue eye looked like that of the purest glacier waters. She only gazed back once, before already had they reached the ends of so, and onto the large spire, where the torii stood ontop.

When she climbed upwards, she expected him to follow to the peaks, and only commented, "Interesting, is it not? This is part of the Dragonford claim," she said, peering below the edge.

"This ledge is special, how else could you be one of us without partaking in the experience we all have to go through?" To let one jump themselves was to give the loyalty they trusted within the Dragonford. Though with someone like the wolf, who already was pledged to her so ; what else could there be in asking? What was the fun in so? Though the point of the drop was to trust Vendrussel, she couldn't help but just get very close to him. A sly-like grin while staring at the more stoic man before..

Nudging him off.

"For us here, within the land of Dragonford.. Trust between us is upmost - to gives ones life for the ford, to trust by diving to the depths, and the courage to do so, and live with us." As she watched him before the cliff, his white figure dipping into depths below. Though she watched the struggle, the waves rippling so, the man did not drown, nor' require her help. It would've been a true shame if she had to turn away the already claimed man, for someone who said he would join her so.. Yet the Gods took pity, and let him survive.

He seemed in a daze as she watched his figure climb onto the land, welcoming so, "welcome to the ford, sand dragon," she so said, a faint familiarity from his time in the desert, "you are one of us."

He pulled out of the water, a man looking as if he was contemplating by no attempt of removing the heavy water — though she could tell for certain as his face remained neutral. Curiously looking at his stae, mindlessly there and awaiting for what words to say. He joined the ford and was dubbed as the dragon of sand, just as she first met in the dunes of the east. A silence hanging between, and she was to prod him what was the matter though he spoke — a name unlike she heard.

Her lips curled slightly, as blue eyes gazed upon him, "Aarkon, welcome to the ford," she so said, not realizing the man already counted himself as part of them.. Though Vendrussel does not think any is part of them until they take the dive.
