Since other people are tossing their hats into the ring so to speak, I thought I'd change the title, and let all the smugglers out there lay down how they incorporate smuggler into the broader scope of their character 
Well, so I'm going MS/MBH post-CU. People have been talking about how they don't feel being a BH fits into the character of a smuggler. While I'm inclined to agree with them, I also find the prospect of hunting jedi interesting. So I've been thinking about it, and came up with a background for my char that incorporates both professions.
I'm going to be an "Expediency Specialist," hired by the Rebellion. I'll smuggle, sabotage, steal, engage in subterfuge (see my post on subterfuge 
), and assassinate, as long as the price is right. Whatever I do is of strategic importance to the rebellion, but too underhanded to be conducted by the Rebellion itself.

i like that keck!
my main character (Kohs) won't change much. he'll still be a scoundrel with a heart of gold. a master of intel and disguise (although post CU i'm gonna drop master ID for a full on combat template). and a compulsive gambler and lady's twi.
with my master Smuggler, master Pistoleer, Carbineer 4040 template i figure he'll be doing more combat oriented mercinary work. he'll be good to have in a group battle because of his near triple crowd control profs.
what you've seen of Wuha on TC-ep3 will be similar to what i plan on doing on Sunrunner with Kohs. taking a more active role in PvP. perhaps hiring himself out as a mercinary for either side in the GCW.
but i would most like to continue to build up the criminal RP world on Sunrunner as well, with the help of Joras. perhaps launch a PvP gang war!

Been thinking of a backstory into the whole BH thing myself; my character despises them, which will make it even harder to pull off. Im thinking, maybe, he was able to inflitrate spynet's database an uploaded himself as member of the Bounty Hunter'sguild. My characters' no saint; but he'd much rather talk his way out rather than exhirting physical effort to get out of a jam.
I'll use the MBH as a shield against other Bounty Hunters..you know, that unspoken law between them, that says they cant *or at least shouldnt* hunt other bounty hunters...unless of course that Hunter fails to eliminate or capture the target. Initially he wont be too interested in hunting down marks, but there will be offers that are too lucrative to pass up...he hates wearing armor so I see a dual roleplay type of thing happening. SHould be fun...the whole masked Zabrak thing is rather intriguing- I wont be as powerful as some of the other templates...so i'll have to rely on strategy mostly...and just plain ol'escape artistry
ok and so it just hit me...to go along with the whole dual personality thing, I think i'll purchase an AV-21 to be like my, excuse my geek'ness..batmobile. Perhaps even purchase a separate ship as well,you know, for those special assignments.

It's nice to see the RPing! I like both of the personas presented here.
Though it's tempting I'm still going to try out the pure pistol smuggler and keep my persona of a loneralways-in-the-shadows smuggler that will smuggle anything for anyone for enough money. He'd rather see the GCW go on and on eternally if it meant more smuggling business. And, of course, all that war keeps the law busy even though he has bribed his way to positive fp on both sides. When he hangs out 'in public' it is usually in Jabba's throne room or in the more out of the way cantinas. In space he'll shoot and loot anything that moves, no favorites there.

I'm going to the same template, and the roleplay aspect is almost exactly the same as yours, too. I originally chose to work towardsthe smuggler profession because I'd decided to play Dash as a Rebel spy, and having both the underworld contacts, and the slicing skills tosteal data or workaround electronic security systems, fit the bill nicely. Having the investigation skills of a bounty hunter fits alongside that very nicely. Plus, in terms of roleplay, being an Imperial-licensed bounty hunter would be a greatcover for a Rebel to justify having weapons and armour, and travelling around alot.

Keck, you and I think way too alike...I'm very worried about you >:9
Thats almost exactly the direction I'm taking Syyl'ara. Every bit the part of the covert operations specialist, I'm interested in modeling her in part on Aayala Secura, minus the lightsaber, of course.
ahh well, enough forum hopping, time to play!

Arikaan's a space pirate, pure and simple, raiding shipping lanes and using his underworld connections to obtain relics and artifacts is his game, raiding shipping lanes, hacking terminals for info ect, sometimes he sells relics, only to hijack them mid transit later and get credits and the item, although in the current state of the galaxy, loads of upstart jedi wannabes and force weilders (they aren't jedi to Ari, they dont abide by the teachings or beliefs) are after artifacts and relics of the long dead religeon.
all that will probabily change is Ari will cary is 2h sith sword about, a recently "liberated" Artifact from long long ago as he is a swordsman/pistoleer to cover ranged and melee

The story of rixo!
Many years ago while i was a small hatchling i become lost during a science expedition to endor. seeing that i would not survive on my own i was adopted by a small tribe of panshees. they raised me into adolesace but my as i grew so did my hunger. one day while in a meeting with the chief i uhhh kinda ate him and was chased from the camp. Agin with no family (damn panshees) i found a nice rat hole of a bar and found out some of the things i had learned to make from those damned ewoks would sell high on the blackmarket, that opened the door to much bigger things and through many smuggling runs and barfight brawls i became a know and wanted man. i was good but not good enough to avoid the empire they caught me sat me down in a room and tried to interigate me. well after alot of truth serum and alot of dead troopers the found my weakness CREDITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now i am a loya errr.. happy citezen of the empire and as long as my pockets are full ill serve um but i still smuggle for the fun of it

My smuggler is a master of deception,informant and supplier for the rebels. I can ship in anything you need or want, for a price. Need modifications better than the empire wants you to have? You got it. Gun and spice running is the easy part, now getting past those imperials... thats the part you gotta hang on for.
Other than that Im an expert with firearms and tactical operation.
Once CU goes live, Im a smuggler on Corbantis. If you have a smugg on corbantis give me a holler. Im Korua Starhunter on corbantis and 'Logos on TC

Jaecob Maragi-
Years ago, Jaecob served as a highly decorated dectective among CorSec, finally quitting the force due to personal reasons, rumored to be that he became disillusioned with CorSec and corruption among its officers. He began to wander the galaxy, and eventually turned into what he used to fight, a criminal. He became one of the Underworld's most reknown Smugglers and Go-To men simply from knowing all of the Law's methods, contracting with whoever was willing to pay. He lives with only a few simple laws for life;
Jaded from previous situations in his life, he has few people he trusts and fewer he considers "friend", but this has begun to change with much of his recent work, which has brought him into contact with the Rebellion.
His talents have made him sought after on many occasions when discretion was necessary. However, he will admitt that due to his own brand of luck, the only discretion sometimes is those around his objectives not knowing what exactly is happening, why, or who is doing it.
He is known as a master of pistols and gunfighting, versed in other forms of combat.

Renell will be back in fighting trim with M.Smug/TKM since he'll have wrestled with the Luck demons by then. Smuggler to investigate the underworld, and tk for calm. As usual, he'll still have his weakness for fast swoops, especially the av-21. Constantly in trouble with corsec, he remains in good standing in Jabba's court, noting who comes in, who goes out, what is done and not done. Below the surface, below the middling depths, he hates the slug. If any of Jabba's people don't quite return, well, that's the risks one takes, especially in when placed in the empire.
