From Gamespot.com we get to see new character profiles, for both the turtles, and other protagonists:
Leonardo

Favorite Color:
Blue
Weapon of choice:
Dual Katana
What He Does:
Leads
Often regarded as the leader of the turtles, Leonardo keeps a level head in most situations and has a knack for using swords without actually stabbing anyone–except maybe a foot soldier here and there. Without his or Master Splinter’s direction, the turtles would probably turn into a bunch of no-good ruffians, eating pizza all day instead of patrolling the city to fight crime and thwart Shredder and his goons.
Donatello

Favorite color:
Purple
Weapon of Choice:
Bo
What He Does:
Machines
Every group of mutants has its designated smarty-pants–Donatello is the resident genius of the turtles. In fact, Donatello is usually the one getting the turtle team out of a jam by using his massive turtle brainpower to overcome technological traps. But he wasn’t always this way. In the original comic, Donatello hits one of Shredder’s own grenades back at him with his bo and kills him, showing that Don can also fight with the best of them.
Raphael

Favorite Color:
Red
Weapon of Choice:
Dual Sais
What He Does:
Be Rude, But Cool
Oh Raphael, why must you be so hotheaded? There’s no doubt that Raphael is one of the strongest turtles when it comes to sheer fighting ability, but his lack of patience and constant need to prove himself gets him in plenty of trouble–and not just with enemies, but with the rest of the turtles as well.
Michelangelo

Favorite Color:
Orange
Weapon of Choice:
Nunchaku
What He Does:
Party
It’s impossible to hate Michelangelo. Go ahead, try it. Try hating him. See? It’s impossible. Michelangelo is the fun-loving turtle who would rather spend his time eating, skating, and partying than fighting. And because of his general demeanor, Michelangelo is often targeted as one of the precursors to the whole extreme-sports, talking-animals-that-sound-like-surfers phenomenon in the early 1990s.
Splinter
Weapon of Choice:
Cane
What He Does:
Gives Turtles Guidance
What’s His Deal:
He Is a Radical Rat
Remember the scene in the original TMNT movie where Splinter was practicing ninjitsu in his cage before seeing his master get murdered? It looked pretty terrible (why couldn’t they just use a real ninja rat?), but it is more in line with his origin story, which was later changed for the cartoon. In that universe, Splinter and his master, Hamato Yoshi, were the same character and he later transformed into a rat after finding the turtles in the sewer.
April (last name O’Neil)
Weapon of Choice:
Words/Swords
What She Does:
Reports/Sells Antiques
What’s Her Deal:
Good At Being Kidnapped
In the cartoons and movies, April is a news reporter and one of the first humans to find out about the turtles and befriend them. In the comics, she was originally the assistant to Baxter Stockman, a scientist who invents the robotic mousers. In either version, April is constantly getting into trouble, whether it involves being kidnapped or simply being attacked by Stockman who blames April for his problems.
Casey Jones
Weapon of Choice:
Sports Equipment
What He Does:
Violence
What’s His Deal:
His Parents Never Loved Him
It’s no coincidence that the first time Casey (a former athlete) appears on the scene in the turtle universe, he is immersed in a confrontation with Raphael–both characters have problems with their tempers. But whereas Raphael is constantly working to improve his anger management issues, Casey has the tendency to let his get the best of him at the worst moments.
(The) Shredder
Weapon of Choice:
His Spiky Bits
What He Does:
Evil
What’s His Deal:
Blames Turtles for Everything
Let’s forget for a second that the turtles’ worst enemy was, indeed, their worst enemy. Shredder–leader of The Foot Clan–was actually killed by the turtles in the comics, but by using some odd methods (worms that eat flesh, really), Shredder was cloned and ultimately resurrected. In the first cartoon series, Shredder’s more of a Cobra Commander–always coming up with a grand plan that works for about 15 minutes until it fails horribly.

Just thought the profiles were interesting, I think they are better then the Ninjaturtles.com’s profiles for the turtles.
Well that’s it for now, will post more when more info is available =D.
