The people of Mars would likely be somewhat different from the people of Earth, since they'd be so heavily influenced by whatever idiosyncrasies they inherited from the first colonists.

If there are genetic propensities to whatever would make someone healthy enough to travel to Mars, intelligent enough to run the machines, yet disconnect enough from Earthbound society that they wouldn't mind leaving the planet, that is what Martians would generally be like.
