  1. Adryel Koltis
    • => Choose Me page
    • Starting personality=> Cautious
    • => Background/Story
    • => Special Ability
      • Once on your turn, you may spend 2 focus to regain 1 of your spent personality tokens. [Note that Adryel is regaining personality tokens that you have already used and never can have more than at the start of the mission. A personality token is how you can boost your actions (if they have the matching boost shown at the bottom of the Action card), and it is a great ability to reuse the ability. Plus, right from the start of the campaign he has one yellow personality token that can boost two action cards.]

  2. Antathys
  3. Bassilus
    • => Choose Me page
    • Starting personality=> Cautious and Supportive
    • Background/Story
    • => Special Ability
      • Adjacent allies have 1 free reroll per action on their turn. Each time they utilize it you gain 1 focus. [This is a double bonus ability! Your fellow heroes get a free reroll for every action as long as they are adjacent to you… PLUS you get to bump up your focus each time they do that free reroll.]
    • => Action Cards
  4. Eradicator
    • => Choose Me page
    • Starting personality=> Dominating
    • => Background/Story
    • => Special Ability
      • At the beginning of your turn, gain 1 focus per damage card in your cool down track. [As long as Eradicator is injured, he gets to slide his focus up one (unless it already is at it’s max) to help him with reroll ability (using his focus). Remember that rerolling a die can improve two of his action cards, but also might help get him a shield boost or 1 or 2 moves before or after his action.]

  5. Gia U’Coni
    • => Choose Me page
    • Starting personality=> Supportive
    • => Background/Story
    • => Special Ability
      • At the beginning of a mission you gain 1 temporary personality token of your choice for each scar you have. [Gia is a hero that can make the best of the scars received during prior missions! And, remember to use those free personality tokens during this mission! Each personality token can boost an Action card that has a boost indicated on the card for that token.]
    • => High Focus
    • => Action Cards
  6. Hiro Matsuo
    • => Choose Me page
    • Starting personality=> Inspiring
    • Background/Story
    • => Special Ability
      • When you are more than 2 squares away from the nearest ally you have +2 move to your basic actions. [Just like Vera gains rerolls when out on her own, Hiro gains movement when no other hero is nearby. His basic move becomes 3. And his basic interact gains a 2 square move before or after it… thus if he is three squares away from an object, he can first move 2 squares closer which then enables him to interact!]

  7. Jastin Canning
    • => Choose Me page
    • Starting personality=> Supportive
    • Background/Story
    • => Special Ability
      • In the beginning of your turn, you may spend 1 focus to move 1 action card 1 spot to the left or right. [Sliding the Action card on the 1 spot would put it back into your hand to use immediately! But also be sure to remember that you can use Jastin’s ability to slide your Effect Action cards to the right to keep them on your cool down track longer! This is perfect with his Hacker Drone action card that allows hacking for 2 from a distance of 3 squares as long as the card stays on the cool down track!]

  8. Laelia
    • => Choose Me page
    • Starting personality=> Inspiring and Cautious
    • Background/Story
    • => Special Ability
      • Once per enemy turn, you may ignore and discard the first damage card that would make you unconscious. [This can be a life saver even when things are not looking drastic. Example, when she has no damage cards, but also no shields left and takes two damage, if both damage cards are 4, she normally would go unconscious. But her ability lets her ignore that second damage card and stay alive (if not well).]
    • => Action Cards
  9. Melithys
  10. Memnon
    • => Choose Me page
    • Starting personality=> Supportive
    • => Background/Story
    • => Special Ability
      • You have 1 permanent shield but it costs 1 focus per damage card you want to move during your rest actions. [Memnon’s special ability has a “catch” to it! Yes you get that permanent shield (which can really come in handy in tight spots), but throughout the entire game you must pay one focus any time a damage card is going to slide to the left on your cooldown track when you turn ends (and if you have no focus you may not slide the damage card).]
    • => Action Cards
  11. Qorox
  12. Sigyn
    • => Choose Me page
    • Starting personality=> Dominating
    • => Background/Story
    • => Special Ability
    • Assassin Doctrine
      When you destroy an enemy, gain 1 focus.
      Overwritten Protocol 
      You cannot perform the action: Concentrate.
      [Sigyn has two special abilities. The first one lets her bump up her focus each time an enemy is destroyed which will help restore her reroll ability. However, the second ability actually removes a type of action available to her during her turn. She cannot use the Concentrate action (which other heroes use to bump up their focus) so use it wisely! However, note that there are other ways for her to regain focus.]
    • => Action Cards
  13. Talya Paranis
    • => Choose Me page
    • Starting personality=> Very Cautious
    • => Background/Story
    • => Special Ability
      • When you draw a damage card, roll 1 die. If you roll a shield, ignore the damage card (no rerolls). [Talya’s special ability really helps when the heat is on! There is a shield on two sides of a die, so there’s a 33% chance of deflecting a damage card completely (just toss it in the discard pile if you roll a shield). But remember that you can’t use your focus to reroll with this ability!]
    • => High Focus
    • => Action Cards
  14. Tarira Celesius
  15. Vera N’Kalou
  16. Xalia
    • => Choose Me page
    • Starting personality=> none emphasized
    • Background/Story
    • => Special Ability
      • If you have one or more enemies adjacent to you, you have 1 free reroll per action. [Xalia begins the campaign with two weapons that can utilize this ability, but one of them starts with zero dice (you need to use a green personality token to gain a die to roll).]

I made a quick video giving a quick look at all 16 heroes:

At the moment, none of the Rogue Angel characters are included in the Burning Suns WIkia
