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

AW but looking for a Haldis Interaction! @Misoka if u wanna throw her over here <3 no stress!!



 He'd travelled further today, heading up northeast, away from his comfortable den and his lover, and further from the scent of a neighbouring pack. Instead, there was a faint hint of cat, and Esmeray clicked his tongue. Not only that, but a metal-smell rode the wind, like... Blood. Esmeray shuddered; What happened here?

 But, his attention was caught by three things; Rosencrantz, Sorina, and a frozen waterfall. The previously mentioned scents were old. Old enough for this to be before the manwhore's untimely death. So, forcing his attention back on the cascade, his eyes trickled to the crevice behind it, tilting his head curiously. A minty odor reached his nose quickly, and Esmeray hurried towards the crevice.

 It took him only a few moments to shuffle inwards, eyes coming to view a patch of peppermint, thriving with the moist soil and run of water that ran through the cave. It sprouted against the stone, and Esmeray leaned forwards, nipping a stalk to bring back to Haldis, and to hopefully plant some, as well. It'd be a lot easier to treat head-or-stomachaches with a source of peppermint nearby.



my eyes are going dull/numb to the bluelight so srry if this was bad lmao

Set after Erebus joins Haldis



Dark figure sticking out among the ice and snow, the soft twinkling reflecting against his eyes as he stared into the white abyss.
Ahead he spotted a man, much like himself, though slightly lighter in tone.

He stopped to stare, head high but, not in a pompous way. More of a way to get a better look, nose slightly pointed to the sky.
They smelled of Haldis.

Erebus hadn't yet met everyone, so he gave a chuff to say hello.

The girl moved through the area, nose high as she sniffed around. It didn't take her long to catch the scent of her mate and quickly she made her way over to him, aiming to press her shoulder against his in hello. "Out for a little exploration before bed, hun?" Her ears would flicker slightly as she heard the hello of another, turning to see a man she didn't recognize. Sitting herself down slightly behind Esmeray, though still nodding her head in greeting to the stranger. 

She wasn't one to really be lovey dovey in front of others, but she also enjoyed the comfort of her mate around strangers. Her tail flicked slightly as she spoke up with a smile. "Hi there."

 A call of another caught his attention, a newcomer to Haldis, it seemed, as the loner-scent that laced their fur was still present. The man almost felt the hair on his back stand up, but quickly, he turned to the stranger, also greeted by Misoka shortly after.

 He returned the friendly gesture quickly, before turning his gaze back to the man, darker then him, with scarily sun-like eyes, brighter compared to Esmeray’s dying-stars. “Hello,” He greeted assertively, tail flicking to try and find Misoka’s own. “I take it your new around these parts.”

 Esmeray couldn’t help but be blunt, it was just… what worked for him. He was either all or nothing, and his all was saved for one woman in particular. The Scion almost felt his chest lift for a moment, though he kept his gaze locked on the man. He’d been meaning to ask Misoka what sort of pelts she’d like… but it seemed they were always busy.

 “What’s your name?” Do you have a title? A rank? A family name? All questions Esmeray wanted to ask, though all he would do was keep his ears perked and his fur brushing against Misoka’s, fighting the urge to kiss and cuddle and.. well… treat each other like mates.

 He felt like he had no time anymore, now that he was a Scion…

Erebus watched the red and white woman come into his vision, to which he stared her down.
Something about his eyes, something about the way he looked-

It spoke of true loathing.

She spoke, and the man's eyes rolled up in a disrespectful manner and back down to his original person of interest. He wouldn't address or acknowledge her.

"Erebus Tenebris. Prince of the Tenebris Clan. The most righteous and well born clans." He spoke bluntly, though he let his name be rung out powerfully. They should know right who stood before them. Let his name sink within memory. His tone matter-of-fact, with a hint of the informative, as if they were foolish to not know already.

I apologize for my son's behavior

The woman watched the disrespect, her hackles raising instantly. She ignored her mate and instead stepped forward, growling low in warning. She typically didn't enjoy fighting, but this man was really pushing his luck. "If you're considered the most well born than I'm scared to see what filth the rest of the clans where you're from look like." She would aim to move directly in front of her mate, forcing the male to look at her instead. "Now listen, peasant, you can either play nice, or you can leave, those are you choices." 

She was getting more and more annoyed by the second, wanting to teach this asshole why you didn't ignore a woman when she spoke to you.

lol no worries, we love the drama

 The shadowy man stared at Misoka, his eyes glittering with hatred that made Esmeray want to tear them out. A low growl threatened to rise from his chest, and he flicked his tail towards his mate comfortingly. "Erebus Tenebris. Prince of the Tenebris Clan. The most righteous and well born clans." What a prick.

 And then Misoka begun, and Esmeray couldn't help but feel a little proud; "If you're considered the most well born than I'm scared to see what filth the rest of the clans where you're from look like. Now listen, peasant, you can either play nice, or you can leave, those are you choices." “Be careful, Misoka. We don't need enemies...” But if anything goes to shit, I'll be here. He stood to whisper in her ear.

 If this 'Erebus' guy tried anything, Esmeray would gladly rake his claws through that shadowy fur, no matter rank or reprimand.

The man laughed in her face. What a stupid slave. At least, that must be what she was, right? No dark and handsome- regular and fair bred man- would drag along a useless clump of fur like that unless they were some sort of slave or servant. At least in a "perfect" world.

"Ah ah ah.." He chuckled, low rumbles in the basin of his black chest. "Maybe it won't be best to disrespect your queen's... uh..." His face looked to ponder a fun word to use. "Boy toy."
An evil smirk crept up his maw.
Erebus went on a limb to assume that Sorina would feel any sort of way about the interaction. In reality, he barely knew much about her. A night of passion and acceptance into her pack, temporarily, is all he knew of her.
He caught the air that she liked him. Though, had no clue how she would feel about his prejudice or values.

The black coated man didn't care. It was enough.

"Consider, maybe, putting a cotton ball in her mouth?" He cocked his wicked head to the side, intentionally condescending. "That always works for my family's bitches."

Erebus wondered how far he could play with their emotions.

The woman took a deep breath as she heard her mate's words, trying her best to calm herself down. However, as the asshole spoke up again, the woman would snap her eyes open, hackles raising instantly. "Oh hell no." She said simply before launching herself at the wolf, if her mate didn't stop her that is. 

If she was able to, she would try to slam her body, though smaller, into the man, teeth aiming for his shoulders. She didn't care if he was the leader herself, respect needed to be earned and he clearly didn't understand that.

Well, that wasn't what he'd been expecting, though a growing anger plumed throughout his body as Erebus went on; "Consider, maybe, putting a cotton ball in her mouth? That always works for my family's bitches." As he cocked his head like a bloody bastard. Misoka leapt, and Esmeray couldn't bring himself to stop her. Respect is to be earned, though earned for your ability to be a good person, not to be earned by your rank, whether current or natal.

Kind of just vibing for now, may jump in!

There was a satisfied look on his face when she leapt towards him. Oh goody! He couldn't wait! Glee and pure joy filled the expression his face. His eyes truly did smile here, for he was genuinely pleased with the fact that he had set her off. Quite easily, as well. Not much effort went into ticking off the weak minded.

Erebus tried not to laugh when she came, feet misplaced and in his honest opinion, with poor form. In fact, he allowed her to bump into him, his foot only skidding a bit in response to the shift. She had brought herself to him! How kind, she must like the punishment! It was fitting, at least, for a white bitch who seemed to invite said punishment with her noisy mouth.

"Good girl!" He laughed wickedly with merriment before opening his jaws and coming down quick. The goal to snatch the back of her neck and push her down into the snow.

To say she was a fighter was a stretch. She could hunt, but fighting one on one with another wolf was something she didn't have that much experience with. And so, as she slammed into him, she would start to try and bite down on him, though quickly realized her mistake. She felt teeth grip her shoulder as she tried her best to move out of the way. His body was larger than hers and because of that, his weight was able to push her down. 

However from her spot on the ground, she would still try to attack him. Her movement was lowered, but she still tried to bite his front leg, wanting to cause as much damage as she possibly could.
