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

Welcome @Fiora !! :D Everyone come meet her @Tetsujin @Genevieve @Aerith @Coop


Elowyn lead the female deeper into their territory to where she knew most of the pack was that afternoon. The night was taking over the sky slowly. Elowyn had never really accepted someone in a pack, and perhaps she should have been asking more questions but her feeling about the female was good. "My mate is called Anteon," she explained to Fiora. "We also have two females, Aerith and Genevieve, and one bachelor Coop," she added.

She quickly found @ "Tetsujin" at least. "Anteon! I accepted someone new into our Court," she spoke when she saw him. "She woke up in our lands and decided she wanted to stay," Elowyn added and then stepped to his side. She hoped that it wouldn't be too much for the young female to meet her new leaders. She didn't think Anteon would be mean to her though.

She followed the golden hued woman as the night began to cover the heavens, her vibrant blue eyes looked up at the stars beginning to show their sparkling selves with wonder. So this was her new home, she still felt the darkness in the back of her mind. It waited, trying to get her alone so that it can crawl out and cover her with a despair she had no name for. With a mental shake she simply listened to the woman as she spoke of the small family she was now in. Her queen and her mate, so her king, two other girls and one bachelor. How interesting, she liked how they were small because joining a large pack after waking up in a strange land would have been too much.

They came up on a larger, dark colored man and she could not help but pin her ears in a form of submission just as Elowyn practically skipped to his side. Oh, so this was her mate. Her folded ears remained pinned and her tail tucked slightly as she showed both submission and respect to him. She kept silent as she waited for his answer to the happiness the queen gave at accepting someone into their home.

^^Coop had just come back to the courtyard moments prior with a mouthful of purple herbs and shrubs in his mouth that consisted of lilac and lavender, and was in the middle of digging holes to re-plant said shrubs when the queen entered the courtyard, followed by another female. He wouldn’t have paid any mind to her, usually; she was a busy queen woman, and Coop was… well, Coop was Coop, but she’d said his name, which caused him to look up at her and the other, very interesting looking, floofy eared wolf.

And one bachelor, Coop. The gentle giant blinked with the tilt of his head, brows arched as he twitched his nose. Surely, he couldn’t be the only one? But sure enough, it seemed so. There were plenty of females, likely all taken, and then there was Coop. He gave a nod of his head and wag of his tail as he quickly went back to planting his flowers, allowing the king to introduce to meet her first before Coop went over to introduce himself.

ooc: just gonna say she called him and is spotting him running in to save him just running the borders XD

^^He heard his wife's call, turning back from the borders where he'd endlessly run the edge of their terrain again. It was dull most days, a quiet sort of existence, but her notes trilled out to him and found him, and he turned eagerly from his busy work to the siren's call. His tail wagged when he saw her, pausing in his steps as his silvery gaze fell to the woman at Elowyn's side. Elowyn was quick to explain the way she'd been found and accepted into their court. He brushed his shoulder against Elowyn's, tail wagging behind him and tickling along her legs. As nervous as they both were, every day they grew stronger in their convictions. It became easier.

“And your name?” He asked, pleased at the way she immediately seemed to submit. “Welcome to Windmere.” He was sure that they would grow to know each other, glancing over at Coop when the male approached. He seemed to have something in his mouth; he'd done a good job so far at adding and establishing the cache of herbs. His attention was back on Fiora, though, eager to hear a bit about the woman.

Elowyn was happy to see Coop working so hard, and helping her with her garden. She watched Fiora's reaction to him closely though, seeing that they could be a possible match. He seemed to greet her politely. Elowyn then saw Anteon approach. He seemed happy, his tail was wagging. Elowyn felt her heart lift in relief that he didn't seem to think she was out of line for accepting the female. He came to stand by her, rather close too. She realized he probably did that to show that they were a united front. King and Queen of Windmere. It was still a strange thought to her, but something she was starting to get used to.

Luckily he seemed to welcome her into the pack as she had. For a moment she wondered why she had been even worried in the first place. Maybe she shouldn't think so badly of him while he had never shown her that type of behavior. It was mostly that she thought of her father and how he reacted in situations. It was just easy to compare Anteon to him as he carried the same role as her father. It was perhaps a little unfair, but perhaps with time, it would be better. Elowyn's eyes moved to see if @Aerith or @Genevieve were around to meet their newest packmate.

Aerith was rather late to the party but she came around one of the hill corners in a curious, pink gaze toward the other. A smell of the unknown ; caution to the wind as she was generally anxious woman who did not interact too much with those she did not know. There was others that were gradually coming to the lands, some she could see afar but knew not how to properly interact. As the other was from a land born into and was destined to marry, she wasn't used to needing to introduce herself — being far too used to others doing it for herself.

She stood a distance away, ears perked and a leaning toward in a curiosity, but Aerith didn't approach.
