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

It was unfortunate she could not returned to Reclaimed Roots. As she scented around an area, a pack had gradually settled into it's midsts. It was reasonable to take as a claim, as it provided such a suitable home and shelter for many that it was almost a surprise it wasn't claimed sooner. Alas, she would have to simply accept what was and move forward, as much as she wished to visit the realm and just maybe ; to see a familiar face of @Wrath. He was somewhere, Miriam suspected. She sometimes suspected someone was drifting around her although thought that the Goddess's presence was nearby or but a coincidence.. She knew not if it was him, nor' didn't even think of so. Just a thought to what the strange tiger of a man was doing.

She hummed lightly in a light song, approaching the unusual waterfalls. She could not help but peer over it's edge. The water heavily fell to the sea itself, but due to the wind droplets and more fell forward. Lightly was her face getting damned, but the maiden was awfully curious on it so.. If she too were to fall off, would she float like the water? But Miriam wasn't so foolish to try, but an awful amount of curiosity was bringing her bit by bit to the edge.

The Roots had been marked— scented, by a pack that claimed it as theirs. It was about time, Wrath thought, that someone would claim such a fortress. He wished that maybe he could have a home somewhere, but that all seemed unlikely for the time being. He was a wandering vagrant, jack of all trades, mindlessly barreling through the temperate. 

The bay was somewhere that he enjoyed. The coastline was tall, steep, and unforgiving. Anyone who dared trek too close to the water's edge would be met with an unforgiving foe: the ocean itself. There were no ledges, as far as he could tell, for a wolf to pull themselves up, and onto dry land. It may have been scary for most, but not for him. He— unadmittedely— enjoyed the face of danger. It was all that the world surrounded him with— damn those Gods. 

The Gods had never done anything for him. If he was a creature from the depths of hell, then so be it. They created him to be such an evil incarnate, but why did he feel such a drastic stoicism towards the grey woman he met in the cave? Why did he want to be kind? The man simply did not have an answer. More recently, because of her no less, he never had one. 

Speak of the devil herself, the soft sound of a melodic tune pierced his ears, almost tearing the skin as fast as he turned his head towards the noise. He'd follow it, through the edges of the coastline would he teeter on its edge, bringing him closer to her. 

She was too far on the edge. 

What was he supposed to do? He didn't want to startle her, scar her out of her mind, so quietly and as gently as he could, he'd bark a soft, "Miriam," praying that she would turn around.

She peered over the edge enough to see the unforgiving bottom, the ocean that laid in an eerie stillness. It was far below, where the rushing waterfalls blended down lightly all around her, and she simply took the area that was least likely to cause her to tumble downwards. She could hear the sounds of all around, but most muffled out by the falls. Miriam almost lurched forward even more, for she could've sworn she sees something at the bottom as her starry-eyes squinted.. But halted, hearing the faint bark of another, she straightened her arched head and back, to turn behind and see a familiar face.

"Nice to see you again, Wrath," a name that felt odd to say on the tip of her tongue, but tried not to toy it elsewhere. Although such darkness held to it, to him it was but another. It was his name.. And almost like a lightbulb in her head, she looked at him with a twinkle in her gaze ; a thoughtline that to claim such a darkness of his own, to change it from what it once was! How wonderful! Make something that was once full of darkness into a light of his own. Although in reality that was just an assumption, internally Miriam started to praise them as she fully stood, and turned around. She was still close to the edge.

"It's quite a sight, isn't it?"
