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

Tsukiishi was safe, and he was confident that Shiroshika would be able to reclaim their frozen spires before Winter came creeping in. Quicksilver and his scouting party turned toward home; he had a good feeling, and was eagerly anticipating delivering the good news to his mate. Afterward, when they'd ironed out the finer details of the trip they'd take in the near future (there were little ones to consider, after all), he figured they'd bring their comrades together to discuss the plan.

The druid excused himself from the scouts as they began their ascent of the trickster's pass, and he trailed the length of his body along the bark of almost every tree he passed by. After a few days beyond his home, Quicksilver felt that his mark on the mountain needed to be fresh. He lifted a hind leg to urinate here and there, then pressed on with a spring in his stride to reunite with his mate and cubs.

A soft, low call was emitted as he rounded toward the densite. He saw Filavandrel lounging in the afternoon sun as he drew nearer, and could've sworn his firstborn had doubled in size since last he saw him. “Guess who's back,” he called out to @Reiko, @Vienne and @Yaevinn, his eyes bright and ears pricked forward as he prepared himself for the rally of his most beloved.

While her husband was carrying out a self-given task of scouting Tsukiishi for their possible return, Reiko had spent all of her time tending to the children who were growing more rambunctious by the day. Bigger, stronger, and more curious with each passing moon. While they lounged and sniffed around in the sunlight, their mother was always nearby, watching and tending to their every need. Making sure they didn't wander too far and out of immediate sight. One day they would, but for now, they were tied to her own hip or watched every moment of the day.

Snowy auds perked at the low call Quicksilver offered as he approached and naturally her tail swept the grounds even as she rose to greet him with a gentle headbutt against his chest. From this closeness she could tell her perfume was dwindling on his coat but most of all - “You smell of snow.” She crooned while losing herself in the tendrils of his silver fur.

“My dear, how was your travels?” From the brief glance she took upon her approach, he didn't seem any worse for wear. As though only a single night had passed and Quicksilver was the same as he was when he left. She would have to remember to thank @Thraximundar again for scoping out the mountains before the Emperor's arrival.

He was feeling sleepy, though was quick to react when his father's voice drew him from the temptation of slumber. Filavandrel gathered to his over-sized paws and padded with enthusiasm to greet the sterling Emperor, his tail swishing with excitement as he pressed his little body lovingly between his alabaster forelimbs.

Filavandrel loped toward him, followed closely by his mother. Quicksilver welcomed both his mate and little son to him with an affectionate croon, though it was Reiko who reached to embrace him. He welcomed her touch, had longed for it in his short absence. The druid closed his eyes as she pressed her weight to him, smiling to himself as he buried his nose among the snowy white of her dense furs and inhaled deep.

She commented on the scent he carried, something he knew she'd yearned for, and was glad to provide a sampling of their future. Soon, he was sure, they would claim her Silver Towers. Soon, they would bring Shiroshika's wolves home to where they belonged.

“I missed you,” he told her first, because it was important. Quicksilver withdrew to seek the sky blue of Reiko's eyes, then glanced over her slim shoulders to search for any sign of their other two cubs. They had not emerged; he figured they were likely asleep within the den. He rose a paw and batted playfully at Filavandrel, then turned focus solely on his mate as he lowered to his haunches. They had much to discuss. “Tsukiishi stands strong,” he announced, “we found no sign of the tiger having been there. There was a loner, but he made no effort to claim the mountains.” Quicksilver blinked, searching his snowflower's face for enthusiasm, “they will belong Shiroshika again.”
