The Beast Within
Your life was falling apart, and nothing seemed to go your way. With no family growing up, you didn't even have realtives to take you in when it all came crashing down. You thought you were done for, cast out from society with no hope of returning. But then he appeared.
"I can give you what you want, power to free yourself from the suffocating world around you. I can make you free. Oh don't worry, I don't require anything from you, you have nothing to give, after all. All I require is your trust in me. Now, do we have a deal?"

On that fatal night five months ago, when a strange purple moon glowed in the sky, a man offered you a deal. Seeking any chance to escape the poor life that you had been given, you accepted. His words held true, and the next morning you found yourself with incredible new powers that seemed impossible. It seemed like a dream come true, but... something was wrong. You could feel it inside you, that suffocating presence of something wrong, deep in your soul. It clawed at you from the inside, never letting up, always trying to get a foothold. Soon this whole deal seemed like a terrible mistake, and you feared for what would become of you if this monster inside you would ever take hold. Something had to be done.
At first you thought that you could find the man that did this, get him to take away the powers that you'd been given, and hopefully remove the thing inside you as well. But you could never find him, he seemed to have vanished of the face of the earth just like how he appeared on that night. It seemed as though you were stuck like this forever, with the choice of giving in to your fate, or continuing your search. And with the moon glowing that same purple every full moon, and the beast seemingly getting stronger with each coming one, it doesn't look like you have much time left to choose.

Plot Summary
Your character was giving powers by a strange man, these can be any number of different powers you can think of. From elemental manipulation, flight, telekinesis, anything you can think off you can probably have as a power, as long as it isn't completely overpowered. You can even have more than one, as long as the powers relate to each other in some way. This all takes place in London, where you found yourself struggling to get by for whatever reason you can come up with, and after gaining your powers you may well still be worse off, thats all up to how you decide to use your new powers, for better or for worse.
But the important part would have to be the 'beast' inside you. It isn't an actual beast, more so your powers taking over if your mind is too weak to defend itself. When this happens, you have a black out, and normally go on a frenzy of anger, causing destruction however you can with your powers, and, if your unlucky, you might even end up killing someone. These blackouts are more likely one the nights of the full moon whenever the beast is strongest, so you better make sure you're able to put up a mental fight when that time comes.
The ultimate goal of this would have to eventually track down the one that gave you your powers in the first place and get him to remove them. Well, that is if you even want to get rid of them, that is. You might not care if a few people get hurt every once and a while, or you might believe that the benefits out way the risks. In the end, it's really up you how this all plays out, so lets see if we can't make this interesting.
