Opposite of Stubborn?

[oneofmanynameless]

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"

I figured it'd end up being on the quirk level, any thoughts on what quirks you'd use?

Depends on how what you want and how you describe it. I suggested three.

Ah, actually didn't see that you'd put them there before. Those are good. I was thinking more of a sycophant? Just replace "Passive Aggressive" with "Obsequious"?

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

Buy up IQ and/or some kind of sneaky Talent, but sell down Will and/or take Fearfulness? They'll be easy to push around with intimidation. Or maybe take Fearfulness (only when resisting intimidation -??%).

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.

"I know you're lying to me and I know you're doing it to use me, but I'll play along for the time being" as the sort of mental catchphrase of a complient but resentful character?

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.
