Persona
Humans have many layers, some of them worse than others. When a human tries to suppress and hide their worse attributes away from the world, something is born-- we call them Shadows. They are the physical manifestations of a person's suppressed thoughts, emotions and psyche. When people are unable to face these things, the Shadow breaks free and loses all control.
Sometimes, however, humans with special awareness are able to conquer and tame that Shadow. When it is controlled by one's ego, it becomes a Persona. A Persona is the reflection of one's inner self. They can be thought of as a "mask" for an individual to use to face hardship.
In a way, a Persona is similar to a Shadow. While Shadows are malevolent manifestations of one's inner thoughts, a Persona is a manifestation of the same feelings but tamed and trained.
Evokers
After the events of The Answer in Persona 3, SEES disbanded, and the Evokers, along with the blueprints for making them, were put in a crate and hid it away. However, a wealthy man by the name of Ishinomori found the hidden Evokers and replicated them using the blueprints.
Evokers are gun-shaped devices used by Persona users to summon and control their Personas.
They don't hurt the Persona Users physically, but apparently cause a large amount of stress and fear as first time users usually have much difficulty using them. Gradually, it becomes easier with experience.
