Overhauling the Sly Cooper verse, one evil team of murderers at a time. Starting with the criminal gang that kickstarted the events of the entire franchise, the Fiendish Five. Thought I may as well start updating the profiles so they're actually, y'know, good while I'm getting calcs and better AP and speed ratings than what we got in order (Well better as in more justified not higher ratings, speed's staying in the same range, AP might be getting a hefty downgrade but that's for another day)
Here's the current profiles for Clockwerk, Raleigh, Muggshot, Mz. Ruby, and Panda King. And here's my proposed revamps for Clockwerk, Raleigh. Muggshot, Mz. Ruby, and Panda King. For universal changes across the board we've got new quotes with fancy sound files to accompany them, expanded summaries (These have always been a weak point for me so please don't hold back on any criticisms for this specifically lol) scans and references to actually justify abilities they already have as well as their stats, and gifs for their equipment / notable techniques. Going into more specific changes:
Clockwerk:
Clockwerk's age is now set to a solid 12,002 years old, he's shown to be active in 10,000 BC and using just the first and third games he's shown to have been stalking the Coopers since before 1300 BC, not much to it. I've removed Self-Sustenance since he doesn't have any actual showings or statements for any of the three types and simply turning himself into a machine isn't good enough justification considering he's still got robotic lungs that are actively used. Removed Pain Inhibitation as since his body is capable of feeling pain, he visibly flinches and groans when he gets damaged, and when Neyla hijacks his body in the second game she reels her head back and moans in pain when Sly bashes her head in.
As for the new abilities I've added in:
Raleigh:
Lowered his age from 30s-40s to 20s-30s, being full grown when Sly was a child could still have him in his 20s when they attacked the Cooper household. Removed "possibly Technology Manipulation", nothing implies he's using some ability to sink those platforms instead of something in his storm machine doing it, there's even a whistle that goes off before they sink. As for what I added:
The two big justifications are his storm machine, being able to just cause nonstop rainfall across the welsh triangle is far more impressive than any weather modification done irl, and he made the machine into a flying metal fortress with no visible propolusions or anything like that. But also that he should be comparable to Clockwerk, since he wouldn't be brought onto the team by Clockwerk as the teams main machinist if his ability to make and tinker with machines were nowhere as good as Clockwerks. I'd personally rather have the justification say he'd be superior to Clockwerk in this field but left it at comparable for this CRT just in case anyone isn't sold on it, it is a bit tougher to swallow than Muggshot being stronger than Clockwerk due to Raleighs feats in this regard not exactly measuring up to Clockwerk turning himself into an immortal robot powered by hatred in the stone age.
Muggshot:
Lowered his age from 30s-40s to 20s-30s, being full grown when Sly was a child could still have him in his 20s when they attacked the Cooper household. Removed "skilled in close ranged combat" since he has no feats or statements of him being skilled. He just hits really hard and that's about it. As for what I added:
Mz. Ruby:
Like with the previous two, I've lowered her age from 30s-40s to 20s-30s, same reasons blah blah blah. Removed the "possibly" part of her summoning, she does just have the ability, and as for what I added:
Panda King:
Changed his age to at least late 30s since he has a daughter who's portrayed as a young adult, no indication when he had her so played it safe and left it at late 30s in case she was born when he was in his early 20s or something. As for what I added:
Added the Binocucom to his standard equipment, but added in brackets that his equipment is during Sly 3 since he has neither the binocucom or firework launcher in Sly 1. Didn't know whether to list it as optional equipment instead, but it's standard for his entire appearance in Sly 3 so I dunno.

As for the new abilities I've added in:
- Empowerment (His eternal life was fueled by his hatred for the Cooper bloodline, the immortality his body provides can also be fueled with the hatred of others so long as his Hate Chip is intact)
- Bodily Weaponry (His talons can slice through steel, his beak crushed Bentley's legs)
- Transformation (During his fight with Sly and Carmelita he partially transformed his body after taking too much damage, turning his legs into jet boosters and forming armaments on his wings and heads to shoot electrical rings at Sly)
- Light Manipulation & Heat Manipulation (His eyes can emit searchlights, and he can generate laser beams from a pair of emitters in his beak that ignite those who come into contact with them)
- Perception Manipulation (With just one of his eyes the Contessa can affect Sly's mind and put him into a trance where he walks around helplessly with his vision being dominated by swirling lights)
- Explosion Generation & Homing Attack (Can shoot homing missiles that explode on impact)
- Shockwave Generation (His heart can generate a powerful shockwave)
- Energy Absorption (It's his body that allows Clock-La to absorb energy from the engines of Arpeggios blimp to keep herself at full power)
- Resistance to Electricity Manipulation (Camelita's shock pistol doesn't harm him)
- Electricity Manipulation (Created a Death Ray capable of firing massive beams of electricity)
- Energy Projection & Non-Physical Interaction (Souls / Spirits) (Via high tech blasting vehicles that he produces and provides to the other members, which are outfitted with high energy cannons that can blast away and destroy ghosts, with said ghosts being able to phase through solid matter)
- Poison Manipulation (Tried to kill Sly with poison gas)
- Forcefield Creation (Created a device that generates forcefields to imprison Carmelita)
Raleigh:
Lowered his age from 30s-40s to 20s-30s, being full grown when Sly was a child could still have him in his 20s when they attacked the Cooper household. Removed "possibly Technology Manipulation", nothing implies he's using some ability to sink those platforms instead of something in his storm machine doing it, there's even a whistle that goes off before they sink. As for what I added:
- Statistics Amplification & Self-Enlargement (Can bloat to a larger size by eating a bee, allowing him to heavily damage Sly with his stomps)
- Bodily Weaponry & Minor Body Control (Can stiffen his tongue to the point of using it for attacks)
The two big justifications are his storm machine, being able to just cause nonstop rainfall across the welsh triangle is far more impressive than any weather modification done irl, and he made the machine into a flying metal fortress with no visible propolusions or anything like that.

Muggshot:

Removed "skilled in close ranged combat" since he has no feats or statements of him being skilled. He just hits really hard and that's about it. As for what I added:
- Vehicular Mastery (Is a skilled fighter pilot, having led his team to second place during the ACES competition)
- Explosion Generation (Via Dynamite)
- Resistance to Fire Manipulation & Electricity Manipulation (Unharmed by the flames created by the Black Baron's pig guards, which incinerate other guards, and can withstand many shots from Carmelita's shock pistol without being electrocuted)
Mz. Ruby:
Like with the previous two, I've lowered her age from 30s-40s to 20s-30s, same reasons blah blah blah. Removed the "possibly" part of her summoning, she does just have the ability, and as for what I added:
- Large Size (Type 0) (Is over twice the size of Sly, who in turn is taller than Carmelita who's height is 4'5")
- Telekinesis (Moved the upper half of her temple up and down to try and crush Sly)
- Clairvoyance (Can witness far off locations with a crystal ball, knew that Sly had broken into her hideout by seeing it in the stars and her tea leaves
- Telepathy (Telepathically spoke to Sly)
Panda King:
Changed his age to at least late 30s since he has a daughter who's portrayed as a young adult, no indication when he had her so played it safe and left it at late 30s in case she was born when he was in his early 20s or something. As for what I added:
- Preparation (Produces gunpowder to prepare tons of explosives within his firework production falicity so that he can launch massive fireworks to bury entire villages with an avalanche)
- Homing Attack (Is skilled with his firework launcher, being able to aim at multiple targets at once and shooting multiple fireworks that home in and explode on his targets)
Added the Binocucom to his standard equipment, but added in brackets that his equipment is during Sly 3 since he has neither the binocucom or firework launcher in Sly 1. Didn't know whether to list it as optional equipment instead, but it's standard for his entire appearance in Sly 3 so I dunno.
