Persona, previously marketed as Shin Megami Tensei: Persona outside Japan, is a video game franchise primarily developed by Atlus and owned by Sega. Centered around a series of Japanese role-playing video games, Persona is a spin-off from Atlus's Megami Tensei franchise. The first entry in the series, Revelations: Persona, was released in 1996 for the PlayStation. The series has seen several more games since, with the most recent main entry being Persona 3 Reload (2024). Persona began as a spin-off based on the positively-received high school setting of Shin Megami Tensei If... (1994). The series's core features include a group of students as the main cast, a silent protagonist similar to the mainline Megami Tensei franchise, and combat using Personas. Beginning with Persona 3 in 2006, the main series came to focus more on, and become renowned for, the immersive social-simulation elements that came with the addition of Social Links, which are directly linked to how Personas evolve.

The Tower of Hercules is an ancient Roman lighthouse in A Coruña, Galicia, Spain, overlooking the Atlantic coast. Built in the 1st century AD, it is the only fully preserved Roman lighthouse still used for maritime signalling. Its current height is 55 m (180 ft), following an 18th-century restoration which added a fourth storey, the original structure having been shorter and wider. The tower was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2009. Photograph credit: Fernando
