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 brute moved swiftly through the lands, eyes scanning the horizon as he did so. He was in the desert which to most, would be awful and would be the last place they wanted to be. Him however, he didn't mind the sandy wasteland. If anything, he relished in it. It reminded him of a home quickly forgotten. He knew how to survive and thrive here and he just knew in his heart this is where he would make his home. The oasis that gleamed in the distance cemented that in his mind. This place was his now regardless of who said what. 

As he moved closer to the water, his eyes caught something in the distance and at first, he moved in to hunt it. However, it soon became clear that is was another wolf. Though he wasn't against cannibalism, he didn't typically make a habit out of it. Not when he needed creatures to join him. So, instead, he walked over, watching the boy with narrowed eye. Should he bolt, the man wasn't against kidnapping either. 

For now though, he would call out, body tense and ready to run after the kid. "This land isn't the safest for a lone child." He said simply, putting emphasis on the 'lone child' part as he wondered if this boy had parents or family that Satan would have to worry about when claiming him. He hoped not. That would just cause a lot more problems that he didn't have to time to deal with.

The shock that came with the child's attitude was.... interesting. He didn't show his shock but instead amusement crossed his features. The sun did indeed burn his skin slightly, which was one reason he intended to take over the oasis. That way he could have shade and water. But being an albino wolf always came with its challenges. He had grown used to the mild burn of the sun on his skin, and typically kept his eyes narrowed and cast down even when he wasn't trying to be threatening. However, even he could only go out in prolong sun for short periods of time before his skin would blister and he would need to go back into the shade. 

Glancing over at the buzzards in the sky, he watched their movements, gaining as much knowledge as he could about locations of bodies and where the most creatures seemed to fall to. The death birds would be the ones who knew the most about it. The man would think for a moment before speaking. "I don't see why not, how old are you?" He followed behind the boy, watching the world around them while barely glancing at the boy. It wasn't like he was worried the kid would attack him or anything. Satan was confident in his own abilities. 

"I'll get straight to the point, there's no reason to beat around the bush. I'm claiming this land as my own. You will be apart of that." He wasn't going to sugar coat stuff, what he said had little explanation to it.

He didn't know who else previously claimed this lands nor did he care. Whoever they were weren't here now so they obviously failed. Satan was confident cocky in his abilities and wouldn't let himself fail. Not the way others had. He was mildly surprised that the boy gave him some of the kill, though he wasn't going to say no. Unlike some idiots, he wasn't going to say no to free anything, regardless if it was a handout or not. 

He began to eat, ears perking up as he heard the boy's question. Though, he didn't answer until he was part way finished with his mean, raising up his head to meet the boy's gaze. In a similar fashion, his pure white maw was covered in blood, though if anything it helped against the sun. Perhaps he should walk around covered in blood more?

"I'm not stupid, if you've been out here all this time, than I know you're capable of helping yourself out. What I offer you is the ability to do whatever the fuck you want. We are a group of mercenaries that take jobs that no one else is competent enough to do. Not only do you get to live however you want to, but you can team up with others to take down larger jobs." He lowered his head to start eating again. "I'm not a diplomat, I brute force what I want, when I want it. However I could use someone that is smaller and more agile than me. In exchange, I'll assist you and brute force whatever you need." 

It was clear he wasn't the type to typically talk about what he wanted, but at least for now, he was attempting to do so.

His pink eyes narrowed as he bit back a snarl. He despised others believing they were better than him, however it was already clear to the brute that this young wolf could be a very important asset. So, for now he would deal with it. "You know I could very simply just brute force you to join me, right? You're not going to ever beat me in a fight." He stood as he said that, shaking out his fur. "However, I will amuse you, your games are interesting to me." 

He left the rest of his food and began to walk away, glancing over his shoulder as he spoke once more. "I will call for you soon. You'll get your prize then." He turned back away, already sniffing the air to search for a large prey. He wasn't one that was afraid of large game, if anything it excited him. He knew the dangers that came with it and relished in the pain that the prey could cause. 

For now, he debated if he would search for something here or head someone else. Though, he wasn't lazy, he certainly wasn't going to go on a full trip to find something. A large creature from here would work, he would just have to find something worthwhile.
