Hey guys sorry its been so long again *punts collage*.
Hope your all well.
If your wondering Codename Raccoon is the name of a new comic I'm working on. I havent given up on DragonShard I just wanted a change of scene for a bit. Ive only just started on it but heres some info on the main character Richard aka Raccoon. And yes Xeall you have a character in this one can you guess who it is?
Anyway heres some info pictures to follow when I have time to scan them.
Raccoon is currently sixteen years old. He lives and works at a tavern called The Willow, which is owned by a man named Cedric. Although Cedric is not actually related to Raccoon he insists that Raccoon call him Uncle. To all appearances Raccoon is a well-mannered and quiet young man known as Richard. But unbeknownst to many he is actually public enemy number one the master thief Raccoon. The police have no idea who Raccoon actually is and as yet have been unable to catch him.
Anything Raccoon steals he gives to Cedric codename Wolf, who then sells the items on to various buyers. This enables him to carry on running the tavern despite the quite harsh tax the Baron expects from each family within the district. One other works at the Willow with Cedric and Richard a young fox girl known as Tammy. Tammy is the only other person beside Cedric to know that Richard is Raccoon she found out after listening in on a conversation between Richard and Cedric when she should have been working.
Richard’s one accomplice is none other than Tammy after she found out he was Raccoon she insisted she become his assistant. Claiming that she wanted to follow in Raccoons footsteps and become a master thief despite the danger Richard agreed.
Richard when not disguised as Raccoon comes across as a polite, happy and often shy young man. Many girls within the district secretly have a crush on him although Richard doesn’t seem to notice them much to their chagrin and contents himself with Tammy’s company. Tammy is not an exception however as she too loves Richard initially it was Raccoon she fell in love with not knowing that it was actually Richard in disguise. Tammy is not so discreet when it comes to her love though and openly professes it to Richard on multiple occasions. She takes any opportunity to hug him and is happy to know that no other girls have yet had that privilege. She does become jealous however on the rare occasions Richard does expresses interest in other girls as Tammy one day intends to marry him.
As Raccoon Richard seems to be a complete opposite, he’s rude, cocky, and cares only for his and Tammy’s well being on a mission. Besides thieving Raccoon will also occasionally take on assassinations providing the job pays well.
Richard was introduced to the world of thievery by none other than Cedric; he was just six years old when his training began. His mother and Father had been put to death by the Baron by refusing to pay the outrageous tax he demanded of the citizens, They were not the only ones. Richard swore to gain revenge no matter what it took; he took to the streets and initially survived by begging. He also started thieving to help sustain himself and a few others that were living on the streets. Cedric took Richard under his wing after he caught Richard trying to steal his gold pouch. A master thief himself Cedric was happy to have a quick learning student like Richard. He told the boy to always call him Wolf when on a job to make it harder for the police to track him down. When Richard was twelve and after a hard mission stealing a large Tanuki statue that had valuable gems for eyes Cedric gave up the profession and set up the Willow. It became a place for Richard to have a normal life as a cover for his thieving activities after he started going out on his own. After the tavern opened Cedric gave Richard his own codename to be used while on a mission to protect himself from being found out, Codename Raccoon.

Hey guys, I've already given you some information on Richard now here's the lowdown on Tammy.
Tammy's real name is Tabitha but she prefers to be called Tammy. Before she ended up working at the Willow and accompanying Raccoon on his missions she was a part of a well off family. The only child of wealthy parents Tammy had anything she wanted while growing up. Unlike Richard who ended up on the streets.
Unfortuantly for Tammy being in a well bred family meant that her family would arrange a marriage for her to male from another well off family, this enraged Tammy as she firmly believed that she would marry for love one day and not because her parents wanted her too.
When rumour started to abounded of a Master Thief Tammy was naturaly inqusitive having lived all her life with every possible comfort she began to wonder what would drive someone to steal and she began to wish she could meet this master thief. She got her chance several days later when Raccoon stole into her parents household through her window. He grinned at her and stole off into her house, Tammy did nothing to raise the alarm and instead got dressed and tried to follow the theif but he was already gone.
Unpertubed Tammy decided to try and find out more about him and without regret left her life of plenty and its petty rules and regulations behind. However not knowing where to start looking she eventually ended up at a rundown old tavern called the Willow. Having never been inside the a tavern before she entered. Behind the bar was a young man who looked at her a little suprised no doubt about seeing a young girl in a place like the tavern. Not wanting to return home she asked the young man if there was work to be had a duanting task to her but she was determined, the young man smiled pleasently and asked her to wait a while . He dissapered and returned with an older man, he intoduced himself as Cedric and said that he would give her a job as a barmaid and lodgings at the tavern if she worked hard.
Agreeing Tammy set to work that very night, she learned that the young man was called Richard and that Cedric was his uncle. Suprisingly she found she enjoyed her work at the Willow and became increasinly fond of Richard up to the point where she proffesed her love for him. Richard looked a little suprised but only smiled back at her. Unpertubed Tammy decided that this one the man that she would one day marry.
One night after working a shift alone as Richard was ill again she decided to ask Cedric what was wrong with him. As she was about to knock on his door she heard voices inside both Richards and Cedrics. Intrigued she peered through the keyhole and and found Cedric talking to the very person she had wanted to track down Raccoon. Without thinking she charged into the room, Raccoon looked a little surprised to see her and he starting laughing. Surprised she glanced at Cedric who motioned to Raccoon to take his mask off. Tammy was shocked the Master Thief was none other than Richard.
After that Tammy insisted she accompany Richard on any mission he went on. To begin with Richard stubbonly refused warning her off the dangers, when she still persisted he gave in and tasked himself with taking care off her and gave her the codename Ferret, to protect her real identity.
Tammy when not acting as Ferret is a real girly girl. She likes bows and pretty dresses and one day intends to marry Richard. She can be brash and loud sometimes however and this can lead to trouble if Richard is not around to help her. She becomes jealous if Richard expresses intrest in other girls and often chides him saying that she is his bride and no one else. A fact that Richard much to her annoyance with not take seriosly. As it turned out Tammy is a skilled theif and a fairly quick learning being smaller and leaner than Richard she can sneak into some places he cannot. However her lack of experiance sometimes leads to trouble and danger on both their parts.
