I'm curious, i there a Persona d20? I imagine a Binder fills the role any Persona character would, but I would like to see some Vestiges inspired by the games.
Does anybody have any or know where I could find some?

Thanks.

Well summoner (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/base-classes/summoner) fits from Pathfinder, but only a single persona. :smallwink:

We used tri-stat for our persona game.

Could you clarify? I'm not sure what you mean by tri-stat.

It's a different game system. That is literally all I know about it.

Mutants and Masterminds should work well here - I ran a M&M Persona game and the system worked alright. Elemental weaknesses and resistances are easy to use and thanks to Alternate Powers you can switch between several arrays, representing different personas. DND would be a terrible system for Persona.

Yeah, generally speaking, D&D doesn't lend itself to the Persona style of play. One important thing to remember, though, is that summoning the Persona is essentially a cosmetic effect that can be tacked on to literally anything, as there have only been a few occasions in which the Persona did anything other than look pretty (the terribad anime Trinity Soul being a notable case). Generally speaking, any point-buy system would be sufficient for modeling the abilities displayed, both in battle and plot-related, but if you want it to run just like the games, 4E would be the fastest way.

On the other hand, I started to write a system for it a few years back, but didn't get very far. At the very least, the fluff text should prove useful, as I did a fairly comprehensive (if elementary) breakdown of the concepts from the games. Please ignore the randomly-placed bits of terrible typesetting. Scribd didn't like my fonts.
