Opposite of Stubborn?
I'm trying to make a character and not sure what disads to give him. I want him to be submissive on the surfice, wily and resentful underneath. Type of person that sucks up to people they fear as a defense mechanism, but could be convinced to turn on them if someone stronger came around. Kind of classic "Evil villains abused side-kick". Not sure what to put on his character sheet, thoughts?

One or more quirks. "Passive Agressive", "Servile "," Resents his masters"

How would you describe "Servile"? Would you apply any mechanics for it or just have it be purely a role-playing thing? |

Re: Opposite of Stubborn?
The opposite of Stubbornness is some variation on Gullibility, I'd say.

Compliant.
The character does not believe what he is being told (gullability) but acts as if he does, for the time being. He could be resentfully compliant, but I find it difficult to imagine being resntfully gullible, at least until after the deciet has been revealed.

Also, this is basically Gullability minus the self-control roll right? |

Susceptible (Influence Skills) or Susceptible (Fast-Talk). Don't remember where the commonness chart is. Probably SE explains things somewhat.
