The power of the human mind is both infinite and terrible. Mankind is capable of both selfless love and unfathomable cruelty. Each of us possesses a world beyond the senses, a world which is the backbeat and underpinning of the waking, conscious world. There are those who have the power to channel the archetypes within them to achieve superhuman feats. This power is called 'Persona'. These are the stories of those people, who have, for better or for worse, have been granted great power... And how they decide to use it.

Those who confront this realm of the unconscious are forever changed by the experience. Some are erased, some are twisted. But others find that they and the reflections they walk among are one and the same, and through this, prosper.

That choice is yours alone to make.
