I think Robin Hood is actually a good example of how a thief can be labeled as a hero.Â
But honestly, I feel that rogues sound better than thieves because it has more wider option and perspective on what kind of occupation you'd have as a rogue.
You can be assassin rogue type, or stealing rogue type (in this case, it'd be thief. literally.) - Rogues can also be vigilantes easily comparing to pugilists, or archers (unless you want to be Green Arrow and like to shout "PLAYER, YOU HAVE FAILED THIS CITY") However, rogue type of characters were always the "hero" for locals and criminals, depending on what kind of path you choose. To be like Robin Hood, or become just a master thief, become Ezio Auditore, or just a scoundrel that likes to bully people.Â
I am sure some RPers don't just want to be called thieves for their created characters, but rather "rebel" type, like rogue. For ninja and thief analogy, just because Goemon historically was a thief and a ninja, doesn't mean all ninjas are thieves. Ninjas were rather assassin type and spies. They would rather fit for Rogue type.
