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

all welcome, feel free to crowd him.


@Ragnar had opened their home to them. Specifically, a cave at the base of the foothills.

As thankful as he was, the big cat didn't like the idea of being here with a pack, especially after seeing what idiotic evil a pack was capable of, but still he had no choice. The shelter provided to them was such a respite, his shivering subsided, able to warm himself in the corner of the cave.

Looking over his wounds, he was finnaly able to take stock of the various gashes and punctures. The scum held nothing back for him apparently. Bleeding had mostly stopped by now, and the swelling had taken its place, he didn't even want to try to groom around it. Wishing he had a healer to look over it all he rolled into his side and exhaled. Remembering @Harper 's offer, he puffed again. In his state, the only healer he knew was practically on the other side of the world for him now.

He was still dirty, soaked in dried blood, tired, hungry, and in to much pain to sleep.

Freya had smelt them in the air, them and their wounds. Interestingly one was tiger and one was wolf yet they had arrived together, welcomed in by Ragnar. Freya had thought it quite interesting but had waited until now to seek one or both out. His scent drew the gargantuan woman to the caves once she had caught an adorable baby goat -- really, it's mother should have done better but it was the way of life and it was for good use. 

Arriving at the mouth of the cave, the goddess would clear her throat through the goat before she dropped it to the cold ground, "knock knock~" the Norse woman cooed in greeting, multicoloured eyes curious as they sought him out through the darkness of the cave.

Pulling his appendages close, he heard someone approaching. The cat's eyes had adjusted to the light in here, but looking out all he could see was a blinding light. Not standing up his muscles tensed and his hackles raised. He did not want to fight again. As he heard the steps grow closer, his chest rumbled a low growl.

- "Knock knock" - wasn't the most threatening thing. Now he felt sort of stupid, slightly frowning.

Squinting his eyes to look out at the bright day, all he could see was a silloutte of a large wolf. "Hello?"

A growl was easily echoed through the cave, bouncing off the wall in telling vibrations and Freya's ears twitched, thinking that he was still on high alert. She knew nothing other than he was injured and cornered, hurt, defensive felines were nothing to joke about. "I come bearing a small meal," she cooed to the darkness, the light shining through the mouth of the cave and around her own body illuminating parts here and there but not enough for her to truly seek out his details.

"When one is injured, it is important to fill your belly," the goddess informed softly, "your body needs its strength, no?" She nudged forward the baby goat with her paw, kicking it further into the cave as she waved her tail.

The feline's ears where greeted with a reassuring voice of a woman. By the smell, she was like the rest here; of Northfall. Still uneasy, he was lead by his nose, seemingly sniffing towards the goat with a will of it's own.

Relaxing some, he couldn't help but feel better right away, she was right: eating would help. If she could see him, it would be obvious he was apprehesive, not totally comfortable with taking a gift he couldn't return at the moment. He was glad for the shadow he was in, figuring he looked pathetic in this state.

"Thank you.", his tone actually full of surprise, but also genuine appreciation. Knowing he would have to swallow his pride, he scooted himself a bit closer, more light showing his features, partially illuminating his striped complexion and tattered hide. "I'm sorry for... It's just that I...."
