For Dimitri though, I thought that his power wheel would be different weapons. An electric ring that would function as Carmelita's and Tenesee's guns. Then his staff. Then a harpoon gun, used like Sly's archer costume and a grappling hook. Then a microphone, which he could sing into and swing around like a mace. Then just regular fist and tail combonations like in his boss fight in Sly 2.

For overall gameplay he would now be on land and in the third person. He wold pickpocket just by reaching into their pockets. He would also be the only character that wouldn't drown when they went into the water, however the underwater segments would now be in third person as well. This would also introduce a new degree of stealth, as when you are moving on the surface of the water, the splashing will attract guards. However, you can dive whenever you want, and this will be the equivalent of hiding if a guard has spotted you, or just staying unseen if one hasn't. If a guard has their back to you while in the water, you can pull them in, drowning them. There will also be bottles and Sly masks below the surface that only Dimitri can collect.

What do you think? If you want, I have the other characters planned out as well, just give me a shout. You are epic. Please continue. Do you want a new character, or more Dimitri ideas? Former, please. For the Guru, I pictured almost the same. His power wheel would consist of different dreamtime abilities. Shapeshifting, the ball form, slowing time, levitation of enemies, and offensive magic orbs. He would now be able to pick pockets but it would be difficult like Bentley's PPP in Sly 3. He would levitate the money out by holding L1. He would now also be able to attach and climb up any surface except for metal, sort of like Bob, but more than just ice. Also, a thief net upgrade later would allow him to shapeshift iinto a small animal, so that he could move away while being camoflagued. He could still control people's minds, but now would be able to use their full moveset.

I actually already thought of a bossfight for him. It would be a giant enemy, and he would first have to dodge it's moves. Then it would grow tired and sit for a few seconds, while the Guru latched on. What would result is a Shadow of the Colossus-like battle, with the Guru climbing the boss's body while he tries to shake him off. Then when hegets to the head, a minigame would start, sort of like spark runner, where you guide the Guru's magic to the boss's brain. When you reach it, the Guru has control and will ram the boss into one of 3 tall structures, damaging it. Then he is thrown off where you repeat the process 2 more times, finally subduing the beast.

Panda King is next. Thank you for requesting more ScorpionTail, I really like your work and I am so happy that you like it. I would love to work with you in designing possible Sly 5 worlds if you want. It's been a while since you wrote this, but could you please continue if you still remember.
