History

Truman Cole Cavanaugh was born around 1951 in rural Wyoming. His family isn't wealthy, but were hard working, stable, and honest. His father worked agriculture and his mom kept him and his sisters from acting up at home, but worked at a grocery store for part of his adolescence.

He often was surrounded by livestock, trucks, horses, firearms, weather, and the other common assets of life in his area. He learned rather early to do something upon the first ask.

He spent a lot of time outside around friends and kids his age in his early teens, he was never loud but wasn't isolated, was fairly competitive, playing high school football for a few years. He wasn't a star athlete but was great as a punter and wasn't bad at playing safety, and his coaches could rely on him to show up and work. By the time he was about 14 he was working part-time at almost any job he could get to support himself and partially his own family.

By about his late teens to early twenties, he was trying to find as many jobs as possible to see what worked for him, livestock, feeding, mechanics, fencing, etc. He's competent but still learning, he messes up sometimes but when chewed out for it he takes it serious. By this point he's already been working for the stuff he needs, tools, a truck, and a little bit of savings.

In the past two years, he's been trying to figure out himself, settling mostly on the typical ranch-hand work. he's not established yet, but he's competent enough where his name is well known in the community and job. He sometimes makes mistakes but quickly corrects them. He doesn't have a long term ambition like 'own a ranch', but rather would like to live a life where he's well-off enough to financially support himself, maybe own a horse, some cattle, but primarily have independence. He's an adult, but not even close to figured out.
