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 man moved out of the cave, narrowing his eyes at the bright light that cast from the sky. It was way to damn bright out there to go out without any protection. So, he moved back inside, walking over to his newest carcass that he caught yesterday. Moving the body itself, he began rolling into the blood and sticky sand, getting it all stuck and caught into his fur. Perfect.

Now that his body was covered in blood, he would move to head back outside, this time having some protection against his skin. It seemed like a lot to do but he didn't mind. It would have been very simple for him to make his pack somewhere else, with more shade or trees. But, he didn't want to. He was used to the desert area, a long lost memory from his old life. 

Lifting his head up, the man would howl out his claim to the land, moving to mark his scent across the land. This was his and regardless of who or what tried to stop him. He would fight and claim and do whatever he needed to in order to keep his claim here.

The man was almost begging someone to challenge his claim, wanting a deadly fight to display his strength, however that certainly wasn't what showed up. Not long after his call, the sound of crying could be heard. What.... what was that? He already had taken in a few children and now the sound of another was clear? This was getting ridiculous. However, he would make his way towards the sound, ears pushed forward as he searched. It was a child, this was getting absolutely stupid, was Warcrest becoming a fucking nursery?

However, it seemed like Marvel had already found the child and much like Satan had expected, was ready to eat him. "You can eat him if he turns out to be a problem. However, for now, you'll deal with him."  Lifting his head, he would call out for @Nyra, knowing that she would just love him for this, wouldn't she. Turning back to the cannibalistic child, he would shake his head, mostly to himself. What the fuck was this turning into? At least when they were older, this would be much better. For now though, it was just tedious. 

"Marvel, I've been meaning to ask you, though I understand clearly that you don't like me, not that I care either way, where do you want to be within this group. Higher ranks mean more responsibilities, but that's up to you." He had some positions in mind for the older child as he grew, but would wait to see what he thought about it first.

Nyra heard the call, and with an exasperated sigh, she trotted off to meet the tyrant and deal with whatever his fucking problem was. 

Arriving with a low bark, the Warmaiden leveled Satan with a razor-sharp glare and exhaled sharply before she strode forward firmly and gripped the unconscious(?) whelp by the nape before turning and beginning to haul the child back to the Eye.
She wasn't going to ask questions or bitch about it. 
She'd just deal and keep making the effort to ascend the ranks as much as possible. If she had to live in this hellhole, she'd damn sure make the most of it.

he awakens abruptly.

strangers stand around him – no, they tower over him, prompting a terrified whimper to leave his lips. rei cowers against the burning sand, fear coursing through his veins like hot poison, paralyzing him in place. the poor pup shivers and shakes, staring up, up, up at the three looming wolves with wide red eyes.

one can spy the rapid rise and fall of ribs beneath skin as he breathes. they speak, but he can hardly understand the sounds – until the white wolf before him says something about eating him, and there’s no way to misinterpret those particular words. a harsh, heaving sob tremors throughout a thin frame, and with a sharp, sudden burst of strength, he rolls onto his back, showing the vulnerable skin of his belly and tucking his small tail between hind legs.

rei’s head falls back, stretching his neck until he’s sure the strangers can see the strain of jugular and veins beneath the delicate skin of his throat. pleading whines drip from his maw like honey, slow and sweet. instinct demands he act submissive, act cute, so that maybe the predators will decide to spare him. his young, inexperienced mind can’t comprehend much, but he knows now, deep in his gut, that one wrong move could make him somebody else’s lunch.

the other white wolf, of similar height to the first, but with vastly different eyes, moves forward, and sweet little rei hunches further into himself, his quiet sniveling growing quickly in volume. he yelps as he's turned over, the nape of his neck being grasped between sharp teeth; this, he thinks, is when he will actually perish, surely. but the grip doesn't tighten further, fangs don't dig deep into his skin and rip through fine bones - instead, he is lifted up and into the air. 

he falls limp immediately, instinctually. rei makes no other noise as he is carried away, quite sure that he's being taken to his (second?) death. 


note: hope this post is ok - sorry for the wait!

The man watched as Nyra took the kid away, shrugging slightly as they went. He was washing his hands of it and if the child died, that wasn't his fault. Still, his attention would move to Marvel, watching him for a moment as he spoke. Apprentice huh? Satan was honestly shocked that he still cared about that. "I deal with strength and power, the only think I can teach you is how to fight." He flicked his tail slightly before speaking. "Do you have the want to be the heir of this land? Regardless of status or rank, you are apart of this pack until you don't want to be any longer. For now, I want you to learn under me, grow strong even though you're young. I care little of what you do or if you take this offer, but know that much like everyone else, I will treat you harsher than the others, I have high hopes for you." With that, he would fall silent again, waiting to see what the boy would say.

The man listened to the boy, cocking his head to the side slightly. A quick chuckle would escape his chest as he shrugged. "I could care little if you try to over throw me. If you are able to, then you're more than welcome to try it. However, if you attempt to kill me, I want you to know that I will do the same regardless of your age." He may have saved a few children, but he would kill Marvel if he attempted anything. 

"If you choose to leave and make your own pack, you are more then welcome to. Just know that unless we are allied, you will be my greatest rival. I will gladly make you strong enough to be of worry to me." He would turn to leave, having many things he needed to do. Should Marvel continue to talk to him though, he would stay and listen.
