Here's how I fixed Thieves In Time...

Thieves In Time Redux Meme #13

Anyway, these changes are only the tip of the iceberg...

I know making Penelope the main protagonist is a bold move, but I can't see this story going any other way. Yes, this also means making her fully playable as well.

your writing does not have to be outstanding or exceptional. seriously, I read books all the time with just average writing, maybe some of the minor characters are one dimensional and cliched, maybe the dialogue is a little cheesy, maybe the plot is a little shaky, but the characters and their dire situation have hooked me. your story doesn’t have to be 5 stars to be worth writing and sharing and it will find the people who will love it.

Thieves In Time Redux Characters: Deep Dive

Time to dive deeper into each of these character arcs. Namely, the lessons our four heroes will need to learn by the end of the story.

I don't need to remind you how poorly written Thieves In Time was. What a storytelling trainwreck.

If Sly 3 was about a seasoned gang of thieves pulling the heist of the century, Thieves In Time Redux is now about a less experienced member learning the ropes and building on her foundations. With, of course, a helping of betrayal mixed in.

Note that Thieves In Time Redux is an AU where Penelope gets dragged into the events of Thieves In Time as a playable character.

First up, Sly.

In canon, Sly jumped into this time travelling adventure because the "old itch" hit him like a truck. We can do better than that. Let's have his initial motivation instead be more about him missing Bentley and Murray. He can still have the itch. But no way is that going to be his number one reason for coming back. Also, when he starts thinking about Penelope now being on the main roster, it leads to him regretting how he ditched all his friends back on Kaine Island...

And when Carmelita comes back for Episode 2, let's just say things won't be pretty... I'm sure you can guess what he needs to do.

Bentley's turn. With Penelope now dragged into the adventure, our favorite turtle now gets a new character arc to navigate.

Bentley is perfectly fine with Sly and Murray risking their lives on the regular... but Penelope, his beloved girlfriend? Not so much. At the beginning of this story, she doesn't have a whole lot of experience yet. The fact that she was nearly kidnapped during the prologue doesn't help. This leads to Bentley being overprotective, but only towards her.

Long story short, Bentley will need to learn to let go of all that fear and let Penelope soar, because spoiler alert! She's actually a badass. It might even save their relationship...

Time to talk about Murray.

Instead of Murray feeling useless from out of heckin' nowhere, he... doesn't have much of an arc to follow. You'd think he'd now have nothing to do, but since Penelope is here for the ride, guess what? Murray has been seeing her as a younger sister. He even goes as far as only calling her "Sis". His focus is now on being a good older brother.

While Murray doesn't get a lot of development here, he does end up being incredibly wholesome.

Which brings us to our main protagonist, Penelope.

I'm not going to reveal her motive here. But I did change it from canon. No longer is she after "something something fame/money/power". As she spends time with our other heroes (and sees how much they care about her), she realizes that her motive isn't worth chasing after.

The lesson she needs to learn is obvious. And it's all about friendship.

I don't even know how to begin covering the ancestors and villains... That'll be for another day. And Carmelita? She's in the same boat.

Thieves In Time could have been so much better. So here. Here's one way it could have gone without ruining the characters.

Let me spell out the first act of this episode. This would consist of the first two missions.

Our three heroes tail a certain "mouse" to a place called Conquest Island. They find out she's found a new boss: Sir Raleigh, who escaped from prison a while ago. The boys don't know what their plan is, but they're going to stop it.

It's Bentley who tails this "mouse" into Raleigh's fortress, only to make a shocking discovery. He's been following a robot this entire time!

Raleigh, thinking he's already won, brings out the real Penelope to gloat to her. Turns out she's been kidnapped and impersonated.

And that impostor? Turns out it was her our heroes fought back in Medieval England. It was her who broke up with Bentley. And her who built that blimp for Le Paradox. The real Penelope is innocent.

It also turns out Raleigh has an entire Robo-Cooper Gang at the ready, and he's hoping to have everyone eventually kidnapped and turned against each other.

The villainous frog basically goes "Your name's been thoroughly ruined! Those friends of yours hate you! Why not work for me?"

Only to be told to stuff it. The real Penelope says she only wants to work for one person; that being Sly Cooper. She also hasn't forgiven her impostor for breaking Bentley's heart. She says these things knowing full well she might never be allowed back in the Cooper Gang.

Bentley, who witnessed this entire scene, orders an immediate rescue mission. When the boys find her, Penelope is terrified (thinking they're here to kill her), but she does agree to go with them after a tearful reunion.

After having Penelope reinstated, our heroes swear revenge against Raleigh for what he did to her. Bentley also takes her back.

Penelope has her life back, but... something is seriously wrong with her. And she's not talking about it.

Second act coming soon.

I want to believe Penelope was kidnapped and impersonated. She still designed the blimp. Her impostor (an evil robot) did everything else. Even her motive was fabricated.

Here's something that could happen in Sly 5.

When the boys (Sly, Bentley, and Murray) eventually find out and take her back, she's going to be a guilt-ridden mess hell-bent on destroying her impostor and her creator for breaking Bentley's heart and making everyone hate her, with several measures of self-loathing for nearly doing the same thing herself.

The reunion scene would need to happen early in the episode in which this story takes place, during the second mission, and no later. That way, the player can get used to her being fully playable for the first time ever before the boss fight.

All three boys, while elated to have Penelope back, will quickly notice that something is seriously wrong with her. They think her impostor did everything, including designing the blimp. When they ask her what's wrong, she refuses to elaborate.

Bentley is especially concerned, but incredibly proud of his reinstated girlfriend for her enduring loyalty.

Cue Penelope pulling her weight several times over during her return episode and defeating her impostor, only to be consumed by all the guilt and confess to none other than Bentley about her treachery by the end. The only thing she doesn't reveal is her motive, saying it doesn't matter because what she did was wrong.

And because I love a good, happy ending, she will be forgiven. She's already spent the entire episode proving herself in spades. As for Sly and Murray's reactions? I'll leave that for you to decide. Would Sly drive himself crazy over not knowing her motive? I think he might.

I realize she will need a very sympathetic motive for this idea to work.

Thievius Raccoonus Rebound - A Sly Cooper fan-zine.

YES, it's finally here! I could rattle about it's development but I did most of that in the foreword. Though I forgot to mention two details. - We included 'Original Ancestors. Don't worry there's only two of them and are an excellent and creative supplement to the Cooper bloodline in my honest opinion. They're written and illustrated in the style this zine was inspired by (the ancestral book) and we hope you enjoy them. - We also included 'Honourable Mentions' after Conner's page. I could've made a whole page just, announcing them but couldn't think of much to fill it in with SO, honourable mentions are canon characters who, in some way, shape or form assisted the Cooper family in the past. - These pages have transcripts! They're in the image description. That's all! We hope you enjoy and sharing would be appreciated! Thank you!

Thievius Raccoonus Rebound - A Sly Cooper Fan-zine.
First of all, Thanks! 

This project was supposed to take two months but ended up taking a 
whopping four months. Some ancestors were more difficult to research 
than we thought, folks had jobs and exams to tend to and to top it all off, 
my laptop of five years conked on me on the day I planned 
to publish this zine! 

So, thank you for your patience and thanks to the team for sticking with it!

I'd also like to stress that this is a FAN-ZINE, not an actual recreation of the 
Thievius Raccoonus.

While that would be a neat project, it would take a bigger team and even more
time which right now, feels a little TOO ambitious but who knows! 
I'd like to thank the Sly Cooper community for sharing this project around as 
much as you have and supporting ThiefNet as a whole. After all you guys are
make things like these happen and I'd like to host more fun little projects 
with a low entry level in the future. 

If you're unfamiliar with the concept, a fan-zine can vary in content or theme 
but generally, they're collections of fanmade content, often artwork.
TRR was inspired both by the family book and the way game manuals (like Sly 1's)
had little 'case files' or beastiary pages etc on characters, NPCs, and bosses.
The text on these pages is as close to canon information we could find but 
at times it'll be supplemented by expanding on something related to the 
character or an educated assumption based on things such as time period.
We only did this when there wasn't much info on a particular ancestor.  
If we got something wrong or you think we didn't stick to canon enough, 
PLEASE, DO NOT HARASS THE TEAM. 

While comments are appreciated, it is no time or space to correct us. 
If you'd like to help us stick to canon in future projects, the ThiefNet Discord
has a special catalog for all the games, comics, game assets and lore where
you can post and perhaps even debate with other lore enthusiasts alike! 

With that being said, I hope you enjoy.

The very first Cooper in documented history, Slythunkhamen is the first of the Cooper Clan and the first pharaoh in his generation. From his early days he learned quickly that the shadows were his most suitable place for thievery. Whether it was early mornings in the desert or the late brisk nights of the markets, Slythunkhamen would come home with a basket filled with fresh produce, grain and other resources to sustain himself. Hiding in the shadows and behind vases was good while lasted but soon he would learn a useful technique that would be passed down to his son and future generations. One night, he was chased after by a guard. Slytunkhamen would in the shadows and as the guard came near, his physical form became transparent. The guard would walk right past him and never take notice.  Thus, the skill of invisibility was created. This skill would allow any Cooper to become invisible, so long as they stay still. Any movement will disrupt the ability and reveal yourself. This skill would be the first of many powers in the Cooper Clan.

Years have passed and Slytunkhamen has become a father. He had many duties on his plate but his thieving days never slowed down. While his family was safe and asleep at home, Slytunkhamen would go out for a late night heist. Gathering a good harvest, he was well on his way home. He successfully evaded many guards that night but a strange winged creature was following him. The silhouette was haunting and the pharaoh assumed it was some sort of spirit who escaped from the realm of the dead. After taking cover behind a building, the pharaoh's breathe stood still as he vanished. The winged shadow beast would leave and Slytunkhamen could finally catch his breath. Who knows if their paths would ever cross again?
The descendant of Slytunkhamen, and the founder of the Cooper Vault. Like his father, Slytunkhamen II was a master thief in Egypt, and the first descendant in what would be a long line of master thieves. He started his fortune by being employed by the great Pharaohs, stealing from the corrupt to begin piling his massive fortune. He would often utilize his father’s “invisibility” technique to make most of his heists successful. His canes he used were two sickles, perfect for navigating and climbing his way around Egypt.  His exploits were so legendary, no one would have ever known of him if not for the Thievius Raccoonus.
  An ancestor from circa 940 Arabia, Salim al-Kupar is said to have the stealth of 40 thieves.However it is debated if this is meant to be taken literally or figuratively as some sources claim he lead the infamous 40 Thieves gang as well. If this is the case, Salim would have held the record for the largest active thief gang to date or at least share the title with Henriette 'One-eye' Cooper as the exact number of crew members on her ship is unknown and often fluctuated. In fact it's common for exact numbers to fluctuate and thus sources would remain vague as the only source would be Salim himself.

Salim was an accomplished climber who invented a technique known as 'The Climbing Cobra' that allowed him to ascend and descend quickly while climbing vertically. In his lifetime him and his fellow thieves were so accomplished at their work that he managed to retire around the age of 40. This would make Salim one of the few whose records don't end abruptly due to sudden death by Clockwork's claws.
 Sir Galleth Cooper was a knight from Medieval England, having lived around  circa. 1300. In his hands the family cane resembled a lance and he was one of the few ancestors to carry a secondary weapon, in his case a one-handed steel sword. His shield bears the Cooper family emblem though it can also be seen on his armor at times. Rather than a gang of thieves, Galleth ran with an order of knights who did not serve any king but rather stole from corrupt nobility. His signature move called 'The Catapult Crash' allowed him to break through barriers while using his lance to launch himself while hanging from a wall and his sword to break anything in his path. His own writings made him appear like a brave and capable knight, though other sources claim that boasting may have been one of his many talents.
An ancestor from 15th century Scotland, not much is known about Slaigh's life. How he got this tall is unknown but just like a member of the Cooper family, he adapted and favored strength of stealth. It is said he did try to remain in the shadows as much as possible however, by hugging any walls and dark corners he could find. Though, it is likely most smaller guards would rather avoid fighting with Slaigh as he was said to be so strong he could break open a safe with a single blow of this case. Said cane resembles a club more than a cane due to it's size and the materials used to make it.

Unfortunately, as stated earlier not much is known about Slaigh. He did not seem to be the type to write down his exploits as there was a lot of unrest during the 15th century which proved rich with opportunity to steal from the elite. We don't know how he passed away either, it could have been Clockwork but it could've just as easily been the Black Plague as it decreased the Scottish population to half a million by the beginning of the 16th century.
Rioichi Cooper, Sly’s Japanese ancestor, was born in the 1560’s during feudal Japan. Not much is known about this sneaky ancestor other than his development of the “Ninja Spire Jump” technique he used to move around the castles of Japan, staying  out of sight from prying eyes. His silent movement and swift hands made short work of many a shogun’s wallet. There was nothing out of reach for him and his twin canes. Legend would have it he would not steal from just anyone, but only from those who stole from the innocent. There are rumor that Riochi would say there was no honor in stealing from anyone except master thieves themselves. It was with this mindset that Rioichi Cooper would become Japan’s greatest thief and the creator of the Code of Honor the Cooper family adheres to... mostly.

The ninja spire jump is performed by focusing one's energy, and placing it all on the point of landing. A true thief can see an aura surrounding their options, and execute landing effortlessly on  any point. This includes anything from spires, antennas, even blades. Rioichi would further develop this technique throughout his life and turn it into the Leaping Dragon, where once could launch themselves from a spire, instead of merely jumping, covering greater distances.
Henriette 'One-Eyed' Coper was Sly's Pirate Ancestor. She sailed the Caribbean in the 1600's and made her fortune as a pirate does.  Captain of the motley crew, she would sail and pillage off of big name pirates to earn 'a True Thief's Booty.' as she called it. Her ship, 'The Thievius' was the fastest on the seas and no amount of lawmen were able to out-maneuver her. Her homage to the Cooper legacy was in her cane which was more of a dagger. It had a small blade on one end and a miniature version of the signature hook on the other.  No one would ever ask how she lost her eye unless you wanted to lose in a swearing contest. As untamed as she was on the seven seas, Henriette was a force to be reckoned with. One worthy of envy.

     On a fateful day, Henriette was coming up from her cabin responding to some kind of commotion. Her crew had dropped like flies from the glare of a menacing pair of red, evil eyes among the fog. Clockwerk. Henriette looked up at her family nemesis and though dazed and confused, kept her wits about her enough to make an escape. She theorizes that her lack of one eye saved her life. Below is a surviving excerpt from her own journal. 

"  And see I did off the port bow, the frightening gaze of an eagle. My strong and seaworthy crew, transfixed in it's terrible faze, lay motionless and silent. All but myself fell victim to it's heart-stopping stare. Perhaps my eye patch protected me during the ordeal and I alone manned the ship away from the flying beast.

I fear it may strike again."
Agatha Cooper, circa 1690, was known for dabbling in the art of witchcraft in colonial America. Shunned by her peers for this, she took residence in a cottage in the woods, forming a coven of witches she'd 'stolen' that would soon become her gang of thieves. Amongst the coven was Mary Gale, a young deer who would become Agatha's most trusted partner and means of escape, with old rumors claiming the duo were seen silhouetted against a full moon though there is no real evidence of this happening. 

Agatha only had one rule when it came to stealing and it was 'Bring No Harm'. making her one of the few Cooper ancestors who was considered a pacifist, as her boline was primarily used to cut drawstrings off coin purses and herbs for medicine. This did come with the risk of injuries in an unprepared fight, so she and Mary decided to look into another form of magic: Lucky charms. Agatha and her coven first used silver horseshoes, mostly worn on the bands of their hats which kept them protected from a singular major injury before they  switched to golden horseshoes, some continuing to wear them on their hats or around their necks which kept them protected from a few extra hats.

Medieval script text:
"To leapeth high in the air, cast the X charm.
To fend thyself from harmeth, cast the square charm.
To perform near a Stealth Aura, jumpeth and cast the circle charm.
To perform a special charm, cast the triangle charm."
A legendary outlaw from circa 1860, Tennessee was most known for perhaps the most daring heists in the entire Cooper family history. He specialized in bank and train robberies, though that might mean he has broken the family code of honor as said banks would hold the accounts of innocent civilians.  Rather than just the cane, Tennessee turned to gunslinging and obtained a custom made handle in the shape of the family cane for his revolver. If his reflexes and his aim can't get him out of a situation, his special Rail Slide technique will. Though the name is rather straight forward, the skill needed to execute the technique is not as it requires a well trained sense of balance and forward motion. This technique was most useful in the Old West due to railway transportation being a constantly expanding and developing technological field. Due to how few records were kept on his activities besides his legendary heists not much is known about the Outlaw. Even the  Cooper Vault does not feature a painting but rather a wanted poster with a bounty of $5000 dollars. In today's economy, that would equal to $189,636.14 dollars.
Thaddeus Windslow Cooper III, has there ever been more of a gentleman? Born in the 1800's in England Thaddeus grew up in high society. He received the best education in London, performing well in all metrics and the ones he didn't he had a certain 'charm' with the teachers to change their minds. Once he became of age he inherited the Thievius Raccoonus and began his time as a master thief. Being in the heart of London there was no shortage of crime happening so there was no better place for a thief like him. Thaddeus would attend balls, charming the guests and making off with their fortunes as well as targeting rich families directly, leaving their vaults empty come daybreak. He would end up retiring a wealthy man.

Thaddeus Windslow Cooper III was a mind before his time. One of his key achievements was designing a flying machine, which is about 100 years before the world would come to know what an Aeroplane even is. Despite his career as a master thief he sought to maintain his high society lifestyle and so he wore a persona of being a kind, brilliant and generous head of House Cooper. His wit and intelligence was so well known that Scotland Yard even worked with him to help stop the long string of theft that kept happening throughout London. With Thaddeus playing both sides, information was easy to gather and with his fondness for disguises he could play many roles. There was no house more wealthy, no house more generous than House Cooper. 

He would attend social events hosted by the family or business he was casing, spending time talking with the figureheads about their business, history and goals, offering hefty 'investments' on occasion to earn their trust. Once considered a part of the inner circle, being invited for tea was like inviting a ravenous lion into a meatlocker. He would take nothing for months only to strike the one night the family would not be home, leaving the home stripped of anything valuable.
Otto Van Cooper stands out among the Cooper ancestors due to his speciality not being stealth, strength or agility but rather intelligence. Having lived during the 1900s, an era full of technological innovation, Otto made up for what he lacked with technological know-how. There is no evidence that suggests he ever used a cane of some kind at all, but rather the rotary blades of his biplane were bent in the iconic hook shape. Said plane was equipped with an impressive amount of gadgets and features Otto would use to pull off his heists and his inventions would later be used by the Cooper gang's own van. His succesful lifetime is a testament to the adaptability of the Cooper bloodline, to overcome set-backs and defy the odds. The sky is no longer the limit.
Francine Cooper is a lesser known ancestor, active mostly during the 1920's and was not known to go beyond US borders. Although she was active across the entire US she was mostly active in New York and Chicago respectively. With her career as an actress she learnt how to navigate the world with the art of smooth talking rather than physical combat of some kind which makes her stand out among the other Coopers. It is not known if her talent at being 'persuasive' is something anyone could master with a little practice or if it was unique to her as a member of the Cooper bloodline. Francine's most notable heist involved the theft of a high profile Mob family's stash inside their vault. She used her notoriety as an actress to land a gig at the wedding reception of the Mob boss's daughter. At the event, she provided a distraction as her gang robbed the Don blind of all the family heirlooms they could find. The Gang wouldn't have been found out either if it wasn't for Francine's eye for diamonds. She took her chance to lay claim on the fine jewel owned by the bride with some well placed compliments and slight of hand. They were able to high tail it out with only a few new bullet holes in their getaway car and a mighty large hit on their heads.
Thievius Raccoonus Rebound - A Sly Cooper Fan-zine.
Bentley is the brains of the Cooper Gang. He's a self-taught hacker and technical jack of all trades. He knows his way around explosives and remote control vehicles Bentley is also responsible for the vast majority of the planning that goes into the gang's heists. As an orphan himself he met Sly and Murray at Happy Camper Orphanage. The trio grew up like brothers, coming together for their first heist to steal a jar of cookies. And thus the Cooper Gang was born. While initially staying within the safety of the van, he eventually came out of his shell, joining Sly in the field. During their final confrontation with Clock-la Bentley suffered an injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down. While losing his ability to walk was difficult to come to terms with, he was more upset about his friend blaming himself. Bentley would go on to develop a high-tech wheelchair to get him around in the field. With everything going on Bentley became introspective, questioning his abilities and place in the gang. After meeting Penelope, the love of his life, he gained a new found confidence. Though his current where-abouts are unknown, he's allegedly working on a Time Machine.
While many people consider him 'the muscle' or 'the brawn' of the gang, Murray himself (and his friends) would describe him as the heart. Both in a physical sense as he protects his loved ones from harm with force if needed, but also emotionally as an honest and reliable companion. Though his origins are an enigma, he wound up in Happy Camper Orphanage around the same time as his two best friends, Sly and Bentley. The three of them grew up to be inseparable, like family. Murray wasn't always known for his skills as a fighter, in fact in his early days out in the field he would much rather avoid combat an relied on Sly to cover him. Their success together as a team would give Murray the courage to not only go on more daunting missions, he now had the courage to do them on his own. (Though his friends would never be far away, thanks Bentley's binocucoms)

While Murray's passion to protect those he cares about got the gang out of quite a few scrapes, his worst nightmare would become a reality during the gang's confrontation with Clock-la. Losing the van already did a number on him but it would be the injury Bentley sustained that would break the hippo's heart of gold. Murray would go on to blame himself for not being able to prevent this and took some time off from his life as a member of the Cooper Gang. He'd travel the world, wandering all the way to Australia where he met the Guru. As a student of Dreamtime, Murray had returned to a more pacifist way of life.

After being sent on a spirit quest to Italy, he would run into his two best friends once more. Their time apart allowed them all to process things in their own way but it would be Bentley that convinced him it's time to let go of his feelings of guilt and rejoin the gang. A favor Murray would pay back in full not just by rejoining the group and helping in convincing the Guru to join too, but by reminding Bentley of their bond as brothers on Kaine Island. After Sly's retirement, Murray completed his training with the Guru and followed his other passion in life, racing. According to the ranks, Murray may give a lot of people a run for their money.
Graduating at the top of her class from Sleath Academy, Carmelita Montoya Fox joined Interpol's investigative services shortly after. It didn't take long for her to run into Sly, who was at the time stealing a personnel file on himself. Through her many encounters with Sly Cooper and his gang she managed to bag the most notorious and dastardly villains around the world. The Fiendish Five and the Klaww Gang all fell under he boot but she was never able to get the Cooper gang. Each encounter after the last though, there was something about Sly she found charming. The two of them, despite being opposites, did have an attraction for each other.  Carmelita even went out of her way to save Sly not once, but twice during the heist of the Cooper family vault. During Sly's confrontation with Dr M, Sly got injured and suffered from amnesia. Instead of arresting him then and there she decided to take him under her wing, to see if they could work things out.
An aboriginal shaman koala from Yuendumu, Australia. The Guru first encountered the Cooper gang through Murray who become his student during his break to heal from some trauma and find himself again. His kind and pacifist nature made him a great teacher but lead a mining organization to take advantage of it and imprison him. They destroyed his home and disturbed an ancient, and powerful supernatural force he was protecting know as the Mask of Dark Earth. He promised the gang of thieves his assistance if they help him restore his home and deal with the mask. The Guru can do much more than give life advice as a master of Dreamtime. He's capable of controlling the minds of other  creatures as well as seemingly changing shape though it's more likely he simply makes you believe you're looking at a rock. He's also shown to have a sense of humor, going along with the gang's pranks and disguises. Using his abilities he has gotten the gang out of many threatening situations, putting his own safety on the line. After the big heist on Kaine Island the Guru faded into obscurity once more but still taking on students. The Guru was last sighted meditating in a park in Central New York.
 Penelope is an expert RC specialist, known for her work with planes. At a young age, she attempted to join the dog-fighting league, but due to being under the age restriction, she was denied entry. To bypass this, she took on the persona of the Black Baron, who then proceeded to win the league and became a celebrity. Penelope would find herself wearing the costume more and more, living a double life as a dogfighting champion and his personal mechanic, thus going on to create the ACES dogfighting competition in Kinderdijk, Holland.

Penelope was soon contacted by the Cooper Gang's Bentley, who offered her a chance at a heist to break into the Cooper Vault on Kaine Island, which she only accepted if they could prove themselves in the ACES competition against the Baron. After a battle of fisticuffs with Sly Cooper, Penelope's secret was finally revealed and she threw her disguise away to start anew, keeping her end of the deal.

Once the heist was finished, Penelope and Bentley would continue to work together as partners.
The Panda King is a Pyrotechnician with a specialty in fireworks that resides in the Kunlun Mountains in China. He's known by the Cooper Gang for his involvement with the Fiendish Five, their theft of the Thievius Raccoonus and murder of Sly's parents.He has a hot temper and channels both that and his skills with fireworks into his martial art form he calls "Flame-Fu". Nearing the end of his time with the Fiendish Five he was defeated by Sly Cooper and subsequently imprisoned. After his release he was reunited with his daughter, Jing King but his peace didn't last. His daughter was abducted by General Tsao and he was exiled from his home. He used this time to try and find inner peace as a monk. The Cooper Gang used this to their advantage to recruit his assistance in their heist of the Cooper Vault. With the Guru's charm and a success in Jing King free, he agreed to become their demolitions expert.

After this final job, the Panda King has retired and returned home to watch over his daughter. He's determined to keep her safe from any other suitors with bad intentions like General Tsao.
A self-made Marine Iguana who mastered the art of turning failure into success through petty anger and clever marketing. Learning English from old-school Hip Hop music videos and studying art in college made him into one of the most memorable people one could ever meet. Dimitri's eccentric nature has proven so intriguing it allowed him to manage three enterprises at a time. Failing as an artist he took revenge by forging classical paintings, proving a point that he's not only a good painter but the 'experts' were unable to tell that they were spending money on a fake. With his new income he financed his Nightclub to serve as a legit business he could cover his criminal activities with. Making a name for himself in a short amount of time he was invited to join the Klaww Gang as a Spice distributor. His fame and money ultimately went to his head, using the Clockwork tail feathers as printing plates for a money printing operation which was shut down after his inevitable run-in with Sly Cooper. 

Being humbled by the thief, Dimitri re-evaluated his life.

After his arrest Dimitri eventually ran into the Master Thief by sheer chance and cut the raccoon a deal to help him find his friend in return for his freedom.They ran into each other a second time and yet again, struck a deal to help each other. This time Dimitri asked something much, much bigger from the gang. To steal back his family heirloom, his grandfather Reme Lousteau's scuba diving  gear from a dangerous pirate island. In return for the effort, Dimitri simply joined the gang by his own choice without an invitation this time and used his natural diving skills for good. Even after his time with the Cooper gang he stuck to his new passion of diving and quickly regained his lost popularity.  This time however, he remained somewhat humble and kept in touch with his new friends, sending post-cards to let them know that not only was he okay, he was more than okay. 

He's still here, wishing you were fine, like him.

Thieves In Time Redux: Paris Tutorial Progress

Here's how I've been dividing my time so far...

Thieves In Time Redux: Paris Tutorial Progress

Intro Cutscene: %100 finished

Sly: %97 finished

Bentley: %47 finished

Penelope: %64 finished

Murray: %25 finished

Final (running into Carmelita): %35 finished

The hardest parts are overhauling Bentley's segment and writing an entirely new segment for Penelope.

I'm also pretty bad at writing action and fight scenes right now. Murray might have to wait a while.

And in hindsight, so will the part where our four heroes floor it into a time portal.

That means I'm roughly %61 done with the tutorial. Give or take a few points.
