Dara [Soldier] had no biotic skill and couldn't get her head around computers, but through her parent's encouragement she trained physically, and when she signed up, the Alliance was happy to keep her in shape. She sees things as ideals and hates complicated decisions. Also, seeing her opponents face-to-face on the front lines, as well as experiencing frequent losses on her own side, has given her an aversion to taking the violent approach.
Cole [Adept] showed excellent biotic capacity and was put into the then-new L3 program. His way of focusing during training was to imagine the slavers that killed his family and friends as the targets, and that vision stuck with him in the field. This cemented, in his mind, his purpose in life: his talents would be used to stop the evils of the universe wherever he found them. And if he has to use his biotics on you, for a second, you've got the face of his family's murderer.
Brit [Engineer] was skilled with computers and hacking before the Alliance got anywhere near her; signing up was a way of "putting her skills to use." So they gave her no other training before she began her first mission, because they expected they'd need her only to get the settlement back online. She taught herself how to shoot that night, very quickly. In short, the Alliance and the universe have given her nothing of use, and she's not going to give them anything back.
Zaku [Vanguard] had both the biotics and the shooting skills from the start. Somewhere along the way he decided his ability to "dual-major" in two forms of combat made him a genuine action hero. He's cocky, placing a lot of value in his abilities, and he will let you know how exactly awesome he is.
