The Fallen Hero

Hello everyone I was toying with a concept and thought why not ask GITP to see if I could get some input into how this would fair in a game!
The character in question is a Paladin a young one just hitting maturity whose running from his calling, which of course is to be a Paladin for the church to uphold justice and law and generally be a good person. Well he has not qualms with actually helping people and crusading for justice and peace he does not wish to follow the Church and doesn't truly want to be a Paladin and bind himself to a god and so he ran away after attaining his first level as a Paladin.
For some backstory, the young man in question is named Fox, he was raised inside the Church of Pelor after his parents were killed during a war that ravaged his village him being found struggling to live beneath his dead mother, his father died defending the village as a soldier stationed in the nearby garrison. Inside the Church he displayed a profound deep psychological effect on himself to want to pursue justice and save people, for that reason he was appointed the squire of a veteran Paladin and trained in their arts. Although he developed quickly he always questioned the Church on why they did not send out forces to actively stop the tragedies that were unfolding across the land and held a deep hatred for their perceived "Laziness" and less proactive approach to dealing with the situations at hand. When he finally graduated Fox was given an heirloom from his family a Greatsword passed down from father to son and that's when Fox snapped inside and knew he had to do something to stop something like this from ever happening to someone else.
In the night Fox gathered his things and ran off to deal out justice on evil throughout the land where the Church "would" not. Now he wanders the land Greatsword slung across his back bound in chains and a lock claiming he will only draw it when the time arises.
What do you guys think? I was thinking throwing ancestral weapon onto the Greatsword and having the character build it up until actually needing it as a dramatic effect.
Also got the idea well listening to Loss of Me from Final Fantasy IX check it out if you guys want!
