Character

A Character is any sentient being in the RuneScape world. Characters fall into two categories: Player characters (commonly referred to as "players"), and Non-player characters (commonly referred to as a NPC). NPCs can be divided in attackable and non-attackable NPCs. Attackables are NPCs like Monsters and some people like Men, Women and Guards. Non-attackables are like, but are not limited to Shop Assistants and Guides. The Lumbridge Guide explains the difference also.
