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

She had been content in her own little world, her nose to the ground as she hummed softly to herself. Her attention was entirely on the herbs that she found near the base of the mountain, slowly and carefully picking them. One at a time, she would carefully pluck them from the earth and lay them carefully in her small, but ever growing pile. 

She didn't notice that Medvjed was looking for her and instead, continued to hum softly to herself, her way of relaxing as she reached down to pick up the last of the plants that she had found at this small area.

Ears flicked forward and she jumped slightly, only to relax when she saw who it was. She had gotten better and not instantly running away when something startled her, but she still got startled rather often. "Oh... well I'm gathering herbs." She spoke softly, gently pulling her small pile into a mound she could pick up in her mouth and carry. 

"They can be used in different medicines." She said simply but didn't explain much more. She figured by how he acted that he wouldn't care about herbs and plants.

She flicked an ear slightly and shook her head softly. "No unfortunately, I haven't gotten the chance to. I tend to work primarily with the plants for the most part. Unless I'm needed." In reality, she preferred to simply care for the herbs and not have someone's live in her hands, but she wasn't one to turn away with someone needed her. 

Her mind went to the first time she helped Hydra and sighed slightly. It was a very stressful time, but she was pretty leveled headed under pressure.

As soon as he asked about what she was collecting, her anxiety and fear seemed to vanish and she stood up a little bit taller. "Oh, this specifically is Avalanche Lily." She pointed to the small white flowers that were gathered on the ground. "They are used for wet dressing on wounds, they are great for keeping out infection and letting wounds heal faster." 

Her tail flicked behind her happily, she loved talking about plants and herbs.

Her smile faltered slightly at his words and she clearly hesitated, unsure how to answer that. Last thing she wanted was for him to run and tell Hydra about her words and then get kicked out for not wanting to be a medic. 

But at the same time, she didn't want to lie either. And so, she finally sighed and shrugged. "I don't ... enjoy being around others..." She started before shifting her gaze down to look at her paws. "If I mess up as a medic, a life could end... but if I mess up as an herbalist.. then worst thing is I need to replant."

She thought for a moment before looking up at him, cocking her head to the side slightly. "Yes, but if someone more experienced and more confident can help them, then I could easily just get in the way." She spoke simply, her green eyes blinking a few times. 

She wasn't trying to be difficult, but she wanted to know what his thoughts on this were. He had intrigued her a bit more. "And what happens if I mess up and someone dies when they shouldn't?"

She honestly wasn't expecting a life lesson when she went out today. Certainly not from this strange man in front of her. But, here she was, listening carefully to his words as she blinked her wide eyes. Well damn. 

After a few seconds, she would sigh softly and nod, understanding where he was coming from. "I suppose you're right.." She spoke softly, glancing at the ground for a moment, clearly going through everything in her mind. She was much more of a mental thinker than one to speak her thoughts. 

Finally though, she would lift her gaze to meet his, sighing softly. "Then I will try to use my abilities to help others..." The key word was try, but it was something at least. Of course, if given the choice, she would much rather let another healer do the needing things, but she would push herself a bit more than she would before. 

She just hoped she wouldn't need to anytime soon.

She was a bit thankful that he chose to leave. Of course it wasnt' that she didn't enjoy talking to him, but she was way too overwhelmed after everything that they talked about. She wanted a moment to relax and regain her energy. And so, when he moved to leave, she would nod her head in farewell, falling silent. 

She watched him leave and sighed slightly, turning to wander off and find a place for her to destress and think.
