I started playing Dead Island yesterday evening, though I didn't play very much. The game seemed impressive. But I've been wondering if the different characters have any unique traits that the others do not (for example different ability trees)?

Each character has different skills relating to their specialty.
Most survival skills tend to be similar, maybe just located further up or down. The most prominent change is in the Fury tree, each character's fury is different.
For example, Logan's (throwing expert) Fury allows him infinite knives and the ability to hit more than one zombie per throw, while Purna's (firearms expert) Fury allows her to draw her sidearm and have infinite ammo with it for the duration of her fury (while also increasing team-mates stats for the duration).
It's best to pick a character that has the playstyle you'd like (either sharp weapons, blunt weapons, throwing weapons, or firearms).
