Here's the story summary in a nutshell:

"It has been six years since the fog was lifted from the town of Inaba, but a new fog clouds the minds of its residents. As Souji Seta returns from his long absence, he must find a way to free them or else lose the bonds of friendship forever."

Characters (* = role confirmed):

Souji Seta (a.k.a. The Protagonist) (Age 22)

Short bio: The male Protagonist (主人公, Shujinkō) has no spoken dialogue or name, following the tradition of the Megami Tensei games. He has silver hair with a shape close to a bowl cut. At the beginning of the game, he moves to the countryside to live with his uncle and cousin for a year, and attends Yasogami High School in the same homeroom class as Chie, Yosuke, and Yukiko. The story of Persona 4 begins when the Protagonist meets Igor and Margaret in the Velvet Room, in the form of a limousine driving in a thick fog; the shape of the Velvet Room changes based on its visitor. His entire personality is decided and portrayed by the player's in-game actions and decisions. He exclusively wields two-handed sword-type weapons. In this story, he has a name, he speaks and he has a personality, which is a kind-hearted type since the events of the game, but when he returns to Inaba and finds that things aren't what he thought they are back then...
Souji Alpha (α) = Mike_Sandbag*
Souji Beta (β) = Ryusuke*

Yosuke Hanamura (Age 22)

Short bio: An awkward boy with slightly unkempt reddish-brown hair who usually walks around with a music player and red/orange headphones around his neck. He dual wields blades ranging from knives to daggers in battle. He is usually very clumsy and often used as comic relief through physical comedy. When going from place to place, he is usually on his bike. Yosuke is the most vocal of the investigation team, and is the one often to create theories on the murders as well as piece evidence together. Although it often falls on the player to decipher the clues Yosuke ponders, his deductive skills allow him to create solid theories, and he is the self-imposed second in command, saying what the player is not able to often. Now, he's the assistant manager at the popular Inaba store called "Junes" and apparently... he's not the same Yosuke that treated Souji kindly in the past...
Yosuke Alpha (α) = BloodRedOath*
Yosuke Beta (β) = Mike_Sandbag*

Officer Chie Satonaka (Age 22)

Short bio: An upbeat girl with short light-brown hair who usually wears a green athletic jacket decorated with buttons. Her weapon is a pair of greaves. She has an obsession with Kung fu, and even uses their techniques in battle, similar to Lisa Silverman of Persona 2. Most of the time, she is friendly, cheerful, and energetic, but she has a short temper. Chie, Yukiko, and Rise are unskilled at cooking, often providing the main cast with unpalatable to terribly awful dishes through the course of the story. Yosuke refers to their horrible cooking as "Mystery Food X." Now, she's an officer under Ryotaro Dojima's wing, and like Yosuke, isn't the same Chie Souji knew back then...
Chie Alpha (α) = Chibi_riki*
Chie Beta (β) = KitsuneSqueak*

Yukiko Togashi-Amagi (Age 22)

Short bio: An elegant, introverted girl with long groomed black hair and a red hairband. Yukiko usually wears either a red cardigan over her school uniform blouse or a pink yukata, and is sometimes also seen carrying a paper fan, which she uses in battle, or a red umbrella. Her family owns a famous ryokan in the city and Yukiko is always busy preparing herself to take over the business. She is named the next owner of the ryokan and feels oppressed by her expected duties. Despite her elegant appearance, she carries a whimsical side prone to fits of laughter. Now, she runs the Amagi inn and is married, much to Souji's discontent and unhappiness...
Yukiko Alpha (α) = mizura*
Yukiko Beta (β) = JessicaLaura*

Kanji Tatsumi (Age 21)

Short bio: A male delinquent with a bleached, swept-back, crewcut who has a scar above his left eye. He wears many piercings, metal jewelry, and a black sweater with a skull-and-crossbones design on it under his school uniform. He uses brute force in combat, swinging weapons such as steel chairs and shields. Kanji has a reputation as being a bully, and is the center of numerous rumors regarding a confrontation with a local biker gang. He also attends Yasogami High. His mother runs a textile shop in their home with Amagi's family being one of their main customers. Kanji is skilled with tailoring for this reason. Now, he is a full-time knitter at the textile shop, but little does he know that he may be drawn back into what he left behind...
Kanji Alpha (α) = Ryusuke*
Kanji Beta (β) = Mike_Sandbag*

Rise Kujikawa (Age 22)

Short bio: A cheerful-looking girl with bright-red hair tied in two pigtails. She was one of the most popular idols in Japan, but suddenly quit her job and transferred to Yasogami High School as a freshman out of reasons unknown. Her look is reminiscent to Yuka Ayase from Shin Megami Tensei: Persona. She takes over the role of support character once Teddie awakens his Persona. Souji, upon his arrival, heard about Rise coming to Inaba for a charity concert... will he come?
Rise Alpha (α) = KitsuneSqueak*
Rise Beta (β) = Chibi_riki*

Detective Naoto Shirogane (Age 22)

Short bio: Young, serious-looking, and possessing an androgynous appearance, Naoto almost always wears an officer's cap, conveying an appearance not unlike the classical gakuran school uniforms of the late 19th century. Combined with body language and gestures, she is reminiscent of Raidou Kuzunoha, combined with the protagonist of Persona 3. Naoto uses a revolver in combat. A well-known detective, Naoto was dubbed the "Detective Prince" by the media, though still attending Yasogami High. She reveals that her parents died in a car accident when she was younger, and her grandfather took her in. Naoto is now a full-time detective under Dojima's wing... and may be part in Souji's return to Inaba...
Naoto Alpha (α) = SKNeko*
Naoto Beta (β) = KitsuneSqueak*

Teddie

Short bio: Teddie is a strange stuffed-bear-like creature with blue fur and a red/white jumpsuit who resides in the world of the Midnight Channel. In the Japanese version, Teddie has a verbal tic, where he usually ends his speeches with "-kuma". The North American Version has him making puns on the word "bear" (Bear-sona, etc). He serves as outside support in battle, but is later replaced and becomes a party member during battle. When fighting, he uses knuckles and other hand-worn weapons. He is often used as comic relief. Teddie's human form later in the game is a blonde, charming, bishonen looking teenager. Teddie is Yosuke's roommate, but he meets Souji and somehow is linked to what happened earlier...
Teddie Alpha (α) = Pokejedservo*
Teddie Beta (β) = Ryusuke*

(Part 2 continued below)

[LG65]

Characters (Part 2):

Ryotaro Dojima (Age 48)

Short bio: A detective and caretaker of the Main Character. Ryotaro is a hard working single father of Nanako Dojima but mostly spends his time away from family due to the murders. Adachi is his partner. He is obsessed with a hit-and-run that killed his wife, and continues to investigate it, to the neglect of his daughter. His events involve him coming to the resolution that he was running away from his fatherly duties by using the case of his wife's hit-and-run, because he was scared of being a father to Nanako. He continues to be of support to Souji, but he knows something about him...
Self-casted (LG65), due to lack of auditions

Nanako Dojima (Age 12)

Short bio: The young cousin of the Main Character and Ryotaro's only daughter. Nanako is a very innocent character but is usually left at home due to her fathers work. Nanako is capable of taking care of herself and watches TV most of the time. She treats the Main Character as an older brother and tries to do whatever she can to spend time with the family members. Nanako mostly talks about the afterlife and asks where good and bad people go. The Protagonist helps Nanako come to terms with her father's busy professional life, realizing that he also missed her mother as much as she did. She is A-OK after the events in the past, but something has changed within Nanako...
Nanako Alpha (α) = xxidioteque*
Nanako Beta (β) = SKNeko*

Taro Namatame

Short bio: The person responsible for the kidnappings past the first two murders. Believing that his actions were good, he was manipulated by Adachi into throwing the victims into the TV world. Though he was responsible for the kidnappings in the game, he was not an antagonist in the traditional sense since he believed that he was saving the people who appeared on the midnight channel from mortal danger. Like the Protagonist and Adachi, he was given the power to enter TVs by Izanami. When he attempted to capture Nanako, he is defeated in the TV World by the main characters and sent to the hospital, insisting that he is trying to save her. In a critical point in the story the player can kill Namatame, diffuse the situation, or identify the true killer as a different person, each resulting in a different ending. If the player chooses to kill Namatame the worst ending will occur, while failing to identify another killer while saving Namatame will result in the bad ending. Realizing that there is another killer, will result in Namatame (at a later point) revealing critical information, putting the investigation team on the right track. In reality, Namatame had figured out after Mayumi's death that her appearance on the Midnight Channel had foreshadowed her murder, and he sought out Saki Konichi in order to warn her. After she died, Namatame tried to contact the police and Adachi inspired him into throwing people into the TV to protect them from the killer, after the victims turned up alive after his kidnappings, he believed he was truly helping them. It wasn't until his experience with Nanako that he realized he had been sending the victims to near certain death. Surprisingly, Souji meets up with Namatame for a secret 'occasion'...
Namatame Alpha (α) = Mike_Sandbag*
Namatame Beta (β) = Mr.EID*

Igor

Short bio: A mysterious, long-nosed gentleman who resides in the Velvet Room (which has recently taken the form of a limousine). As in the other Persona games, Igor's purpose is to assist the player in acquiring new powers and Persona. It is revealed by Margaret that Igor creates the Velvet Room himself and bases its appearance on who the protagonist is at the time, as well as their situation.
Role awarded to: Mike_Sandbag*

Margaret

Short bio: A mysterious woman replacing Elizabeth as Igor's assistant after Elizabeth set off on a journey. After establishing the Social Link with her, she requests the Protagonist to create a certain Persona with a certain skill from fusion, as a euphemism for drawing out those aspects of the protagonists personality. Although she seems very composed and dignified at first glance, she actually has a silly whimsical sense of humor.
Margaret Alpha (α) = cnsmith*
Margaret Beta (β) = Ashiku

I suppose so! ^^;
I finally figured out what I did wrong. I usually record in .wav format, so for this I used audacity and I clicked cancel when it asked me for information about the audio as I was saving it.. XD; apparently that's where I went wrong.
