What is Persona 4?
Persona 4 is the most recent installment in the popular and well-known Persona series (technically there are PSP remakes that are more recent but they're remakes). It builds on a lot of the good elements of Persona 3 while losing some of the worst elements. The game takes place in the same general world as Persona 3 about a year after the end of the game, but there's not much in the way of direct connection. It's a pretty good game, so it's worth showing off.

Dramatis Personae:
Wherein we meet our cast...

Main Cast:

Souji Seta:
Our main character, whom we will follow throughout the story. As the story begins, he is moving from the big city to the small town of Inaba.

Izanagi:
Souji's Persona. His name means "male-who-invites". He and his wife Izanami created the islands of Japan and the gods and people who inhabit them.

Yosuke Hanamura:
A classmate of Souji, who seems prone to unfortunate accidents. He faced his other self in a twisted reflection of Inaba's shopping district.

Jiraiya:
Yosuke's Persona. A mythical ninja who mastered frog-based magic.

Chie Satonaka:
A classmate of Souji. Very serious about her martial arts dvds. She faced her other self in an ancient castle.

Tomoe:
Chie's Persona. She's some kind of historical figure I think.

Yukiko Amagi:
A classmate of Souji. Chie's best friend. Her family owns a famous local inn. She was thrown into the TV, and saved from her own Shadow within.

Konohana Sakuya:
Yukiko's Persona. She is the avatar of all life in Japan, whose symbol is the sakura.

Kanji Tatsumi:
A rough guy a year younger than the main characters. Beats up bikers. Appeared on the Midnight Channel. We rescued him from a horrible fucked up Sauna.

Take-Mikazuchi:
Kanji's Persona. A Japanese thunder god of some description, I can't find that much about him. Luckily for you Viola the Mad knows the score.

Teddie:
A mysterious bearlike creature we met in the TV. He made us promise to find the person ruining his world. Now he's joined our frontline battle crew.

Kintoki Douji:
Teddie's Persona. I think he's a hero known for using a tomahawk, which is why he's carrying a missle around.

Rise Kujikawa:
An idol, who's moved back home to Inaba. She was kidnapped and thrown into the TV, where we rescued her. Now she'll support us in battle.

Himiko:
Rise's Persona. She's some kind of shaman queen and I think sort of a badass.

Naoto Shirogane:
A teenage detective. We saved her from the TV world after she was kidnapped.

Supporting Players:

Igor:
A strange man who inhabits a mysterious other realm called The Velvet Room.

Margaret:
A strange woman who inhabits a mysterious other realm called The Velvet Room.

Ryotaro Dojima:
The main character's uncle, whom he will be staying with for the next year. His job as a detective keeps him away from home a lot.

Nanako Dojima:
The main character's cousin. Seems very responsible for her age, and watches a lot of TV. Her mother died in an accident. We have a social link with her.
