History Characters / StarWarsTheOldRepublicRepublicClassSmuggler

* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler: Murdering the three Moffs counts. Yeah, he ruthlessly murdered his colleagues to seize power, but they were pretty horrible people and openly disparaged him for being a "lowborn" criminal rather than from prominent Imperial military families like them, so it's kind of hard not to cheer him on.]]

[[folder:Harridax Kirill]]

* BlackSheep: A rather unusual member of the Dodonna clan - while the other two (Admiral Forn Dodonna from ''KotOR'' and Admiral Jan Dodonna from ANH) are military personnel, she's a somewhat sleazy politician. [[spoiler: And while the other two are staunch defendants of the Republic, she's a traitor who sides with the Sith Empire.]]

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When the Smuggler first meets him, he lists off Skavak's long list of former crimes, from armed robbery, to kidnapping, to dipping into the Imperials' pockets, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers to cheating at cards]]. The Smuggler can agree that card-cheating is the worst.

'''Smuggler:''' ''[Not missing a beat]'' (Male): Back at you, gorgeous. (Female): You too, sugar. Anyway-- ''[continues their speech]''

-->'''Makeb Citizen:''' ''[to a male Smuggler, as he's delivering a passionate speech about sympathizing with the plight of Makeb's citizens]'' I love you!\\
'''Smuggler:''' ''[Not missing a beat]'' Back at you, gorgeous. Anyway-- ''[continues his speech]''

* YouKnowImBlackRight: When Corso expresses surprise that you agreed to become a Republic privateer since he didn't think you were ''that'' passionate about the war, an alien Smuggler can point out that TheEmpire tends to [[FantasticRacism enslave anyone who looks like them]]. (Doubly poignant if playing as a [[SlaveRace twi'lek or zabrak]].) Corso then kicks himself for not realizing it sooner.

* ReallyGetsAround: Has nearly as many one-night stands as the Imperial Agent.
** Lampshaded by Corso when, after reaching the end of his character arc, he promises to help sort out the inevitable mess over any children that come out of the woodwork.

* [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Proud Warrior Race Girl]]: She ''is'' a Mandalorian, after all. You even lose loyalty points with her if you act dishonorably, but she approves of mercenary behaviour against AcceptableTargets.

* StatuesqueStunner: Female body type 3.

[[folder:The Voidhound]]
!!The Smuggler

* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:The Dark Side ending involves forsaking the Republic and becoming a full-on pirate/criminal/crime boss that goes after both sides. Humorously, since this happens in the chaos of the Corellian war, nobody figures out your culpability and the Republic is all too happy to keep employing you in future content.]]

* VillainProtagonist: If is Dark side, Unlike the other Dark-side Republicans, whose cruel actions are motivated by their loyalty to the Republic, the Smuggler does not feel that loyalty and [[spoiler: ends up betraying the Republic in the Dark-Side ending.]]

* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:The Dark Side ending involves forsaking the Republic and becoming a full-on pirate/criminal/crime boss. Humorously, it doesn't affect your gameplay allegiance and you are still considered a Republic character.]]

* LighterAndSofter: The Smuggler class story tends to be this in comparison to all the others. The hero? A BookDumb LoveableRogue who can hit on anything and everything, with sidekicks like a very [[DeadpanSnarker snarky]] princess and a Calamari con artist; and whose encounters include a ridiculously narcissistic Sith who can't wrap her head around anybody ''not'' wanting her; an incredibly sheltered Jedi who is [[IgnoranceIsBliss sho ridiculously sheltered]] that all your attempts to flirt with her fall on deaf ears; a presumably ultra-evil Imperial bureaucrat who turns out to be [[FatIdiot an incredibly incompetent and hedonistic glutton]], and finally a [[LaughablyEvil vile but very sarcastic Imperial admiral who is always up for a battle of words]] with the hero.

-->'''Smuggler:''' The Republic's a big, self-righteous pool of money, and I've got swimming priviledges.

* CheatersNeverProsper: The Captain can effortlessly clean his clock at sabacc, potentially without even trying. Justified in that he may be losing deliberatly in order to cement his relationship with the Smuggler.

* BlackSheep: A rather unusual member of the Dodonna clan - while the other two (Admiral Forn Dodonna from ''KotOR'' and Admiral Jan Dodonna from ANH) are military personel, she's a somewhat sleazy politician. [[spoiler: And while the other two are staunch defendants of the Republic, she's a traitor who sides with the Sith Empire.]]

* FatBastard: Granted, he's not a complete asshole, but he's still an Imperial officer whose corpulence is matched soley by his cowardice.
* GeneralFailure: Given how thuroughly ''useless'' he is when real combat starts, it is perhaps a good thing for the men under his command that he prefers a 'hands-off' approach to command.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: A Togruta Jedi Master with unusual (for a Jedi) behavior voiced by Vanessa Marshall, who [[spoiler:joins the Order of Zildrog during the Nathema Conspiracy and dies if certain conditiosn are met]]? Are we sure we're not talking about Master Kiwiiks?

* BadassNormal: They are fully capable of holding their own against Jedi, Sith, or just about anything else the galaxy can throw at them.

* ChickMagnet[=/=]HeadTurningBeauty: Both male and female Smugglers have this effect on members of the opposite gender. Many people compliment them on their good looks -- sometimes without the Smuggler flirting first!
-->''(to a male Smuggler, as he's delivering a passionate speech about sympathizing with the plight of Makeb's citizens)''\\
'''Makeb Citizen:''' I love you!\\
'''Smuggler:''' ''(without missing a beat)'' Back at you, gorgeous. Anyway-- ''(continues his speech)''

* [[DidYouJustRomanceCthulu Did You Just Flirt With A Jedi Master]]: A male smuggler have the option to ask [[BigGood Satele Shan]] out for dinner. She politely declines.

* [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Everyone Calls Him Captain]]: By necessity, although the Smuggler seems to prefer this over the other titles they're awarded.

* {{Expy}}: Of Han Solo and [[Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire Dash Rendar]]. [[spoiler: By the end of the class-quest series, a Light Side smuggler has essentially become the era's [[Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy Talon Karrde]] -- a major underworld kingpin (arguably, ''the'' underworld kingpin), who nevertheless is a staunch Republic supporter willing to use their criminal empire on its behalf]]. WordOfGod confirmed that the Smuggler's place as a Republic class was inspired by Han's loyalty to the Rebel Alliance during the original trilogy. The Smuggler's particular strand of manipulating stupid people is straight-up WesternAnimation/BugsBunny though.

* GoodBadGirl: Light Side Female Smuggler, Dark Side not so much.

* GroinAttack: The aptly-named Dirty Kick heroic moment ability kicks the opponent's crotech. And it'll work on anyone unless they're a boss with a specific immunity to stun. So you'll see droids and weird abominations crease up when you kick them in the gonads.

* IdiotHero: Can give off this impression, and is even called such by a few characters. Whether the Smuggler really is dumb or not depends on the player.

-->'''Smuggler:''' ''(to HK-51)'' There's always a method to my madness, pal -- even when there isn't.

* InHarmsWay: The Smuggler can claim the reason they became a spacer is because it's just so much more ''exciting'' than regular, boring life.

* BadassNormal: [=S/He=] is fully capable of holding their own against Jedi, Sith, or just about anything else the galaxy can throw at them.

* {{Expy}}: Of Han Solo and [[Literature/ShadowsOfTheEmpire Dash Rendar]]. [[spoiler: By the end of the class-quest series, a Light Side smuggler has essentially become the era's [[Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy Talon Karrde]] -- a major underworld kingpin (arguably, ''the'' underworld kingpin), who nevertheless is a staunch Republic supporter willing to use his/her criminal empire on its behalf]]. WordOfGod confirmed that the Smuggler's place as a Republic class was inspired by Han's loyalty to the Rebel Alliance during the original trilogy. The Smuggler's particular strand of manipulating stupid people is straight-up WesternAnimation/BugsBunny though.

* InformedAttractiveness: The number of people who talk about the Smuggler being 'radiant', 'pretty', 'gorgeous', etc. is astounding. More so, if the player decides to make him/her unattractive on purpose.

* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: A Light Side Smuggler has ''many'' opportunities to invoke this. Being a scamp on the run from the law (until becoming a privateer), s/he is best-suited to bunny-hopping the red tape that ties many a Jedi and Trooper's hands in order to help people.

* SlidingScaleOfBeauty: The Smuggler seems to be considered World Class Beauty, with several people mentioning how attractive s/he is.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The letter he sends to the Smuggler after s/he leaves Coruscant mentions him getting a job offer from a Republic Senator; guess which one.

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Starting with the Smuggler and his codex entry, plus later events on Coruscant show s/he was not the first and definitely wasn't the last. For example, he convinces [[spoiler:Syreena]] to betray and kill her lover [[spoiler:Viidu]], before admitting that he never had ''any'' intention of coming back to Ord Mantell to rescue her. But hey, at least she's getting paid, right? [[KickTheDog Yeah, about that...]]

%%* TheChick: Definitely. [More context required]

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: How he got his position.

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KathSoucie (female smuggler), Maury Sterling (male smuggler)

* PoisonousFriend: He hooks up the Smuggler with a Privateer contract sure, but he also frequently advises them to screw over the Republic if it will make them more profit.

* BlackSheep: A rather unusual member of the Dodonna clan - while the other two (Admiral Forn Dodonna from KnightsOfTheOldRepublic and Admiral Jan Dodonna from ANH) are military personel, she's a somewhat sleazy politician. [[spoiler: And while the other two are staunch defendants of the Republic, she's a traitor who sides with the Sith Empire.]]

* TheNeidermeyer: Given how thuroughly ''useless'' he is when real combat starts, it is perhaps a good thing for the men under his command that he prefers a 'hands-off' approach to command.

* SixthRanger

* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass
* TheChick: Definitely.
* ConMan: His primary occupation.
* CombatMedic: His original role.

* LargeAndInCharge: Averted; Akaavi learns the hard way that the person she's been chasing for five years is not only thick enough she could have caught him in five seconds, but the most hands-off leader in the entire empire.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: His name is a few letters away from tyrant, but he is as far from physically threatening as they come.
