Museum Outline:
For a museum of the Sly Cooper world, the focus would be set upon a lesser-touched aspect of the story: Sly Cooper's thieving ancestors. Up until Thieves in Time, we never really had much insight into the backstory of the Cooper family line, and all their distinctive thieving styles and personal histories, and even then, there were certain members of the ancestry that were excluded due to the constraints of a video game's limits. The purpose of the museum would be to offer insight into each of them, along with their personal achievements. The museum would be divided into the following floors...
Floor One: The Ancient World
This floor would introduce people to the notable members of the Cooper line from ancient times, during the days of ancient heroes and myths. They included:
- "Bob" Cooper: A prehistoric caveman raccoon who used his bone-tusk spear as the very first "Cooper Cane," stealing pterodactyl eggs to feed his people.
- Slytunkhamen II: An Egyptian desert thief who discovered a connection to the mystic arts, using them to steal from corrupt nobles and evil cultists.
- Salim Al Kupar: A member of the legendary "40 Thieves," known for his daring exploits across the mystical land of ancient Arabia before his retirement.
Floor Two: Medieval to 17th Century
This floor would introduce people to the notable members of the Cooper line from the romantic eras of knights, samurai, and pirates. They included:
- Slaigh MacCooper: A burly Scotsman who was perhaps the strongest of the Cooper lineage, using his might to pillage the castles of greedy warlords.
- Sir Galleth Cooper: A bombastic and daring Medieval knight who moonlighted as a thief, forming a strange balance of chivalry and stealth.
- Rioichi Cooper: A ninja master and sushi chef, Rioichi developed the Spire Jump technique, which taught one how to balance on diminutive points.
- Henriette "One-Eye" Cooper: A lady pirate of the 17th century, one who made her fortune by raiding the ships of more unscrupulous pirates.
Floor Three: The 1800s and 1900s
This floor would introduce the notable members of the Cooper line from the 18th and 19th centuries, as the world became industrialized. They included:
- Thaddeus Winslow Cooper: A dapper gentleman thief from Victorian-era London, and one of the greatest masters of disguise ever known.
- Tennessee "Kid" Cooper: A rough-and-tumble gunslinger who was the terror of corrupt lawmen and bandits during the Wild West.
- Otto Von Cooper: A tinkering genius and ace pilot who pulled off daring heists with his custom plane during WWI and WWII.
Floor Four: Sly Cooper, the Modern Master Thief
The final floor would cover Sly Cooper, the master thief that most fans are familiar with. This floor would be dedicated exclusively to detailing his exploits:
- His early family history, including the death of his parents at the hand of the Fiendish Five and his formative years at an orphanage.
- The early heists that he performed before setting out to recover his family heirloom, the Thievious Raccoonus, and meeting Carmelita Fox.
- The grand caper that made his career--overthrowing the Fiendish Five and stealing back the Thievious Raccoonus.
- The Klaww Gang incident, in which he prevented the return of his arch-nemesis, Clockwerk.
- The Cooper Vault job, and all the adventures he had while assembling an expanded gang of thieves to crack its high-security defenses.
- The Le Paradox crisis, which had Sly travelling through time to save his ancestors and their legacy from being wiped out from history.
- All the miscellaneous adventures that the master thief engaged in between his major capers.
