I don't really remember the exact thing that gave me an idea.
In many stories, there's a "call to adventure" moment. The hero is picked up by the mentor, or charged with his duty - what have you - and then we're off to the races. I wanted to write a story about the kind of hero that wanted nothing to do with duty or fate; he just wanted to take care of his, and everyone else could go take a hike. I think I realized that pretty well with Daniel.
