History[]
Yu Narukami is a high school student who transferred from Tokyo to the small countryside town of Inaba. Just as he settles in living with his uncle and cousin, Yu had learned that a series of murders was happening in the town. However, he had also made a bizarre discovery of a strange world behind TVs. Having been trapped in one TV alongside Yosuke Hanamura, Yu had awakened the power to use a Persona. Throughout his time in Inaba, Yu and his newfound friends would venture into the TV World to finding the culprit behind the murders and uncover the mystery behind the Midnight Channel.

Persona[]
A Persona is a mask from the Collective Unconsciousness in the form of an ancient hero, god, demon, or angel, chosen subconsciously by the user for their soul to wield as a guardian spirit against demonic and cognitive threats. People gain the ability to summon a Persona when they make a deal with their Shadow, the hidden "dark side" of their personality. "Persona" and "Shadow" are two sides of the same coin, so the Shadow becomes the Persona and fights on behalf of the ego, as long as the ego does not deny the Shadow.
In short, Yu has the ability to summon an astral entity to help him fight his foes, in this case, a mask in the form of the Japanese creator god Izanagi. It grants him control over lightning, powerful physical attacks, and a conceptual immunity to darkness-based hazards.
While it may seem like Persona users are dependent on their Personas to fight, Personas actually grant their wielders the ability to perform superhuman feats, even without needing to be summoned. Yu can fight tanks and giant robots with nothing but a sword, react fast enough to dodge bullets and lightning, withstand a summoned flash flood to the face, and survive a city-destroying explosion courtesy of Ameno-Sagiri. Because his Persona is of the Fool Arcana, Yu has an ability known as the Wild Card, which gives him the ability to gain and use any Persona from the Sea of Souls thanks to the bonds he forges with people. He can change his skills and elemental affinities depending on what Persona he uses, and he can even modify his Personas with fusion or skill cards.
At the end of his journey, Yu gained the World Arcana and evolved Izanagi into its ultimate form, Izanagi-no-Okami. In this form, it resists every element except light, is immune to darkness and learns a wider variety of skills. Its unique trait, Creation Ceremony, increases its attack and defense in accordance with how large his Persona compendium has become.
