In RSC, there are two "Genders" to choose between in the player appearance screen. There is no in-game reference as to what these two genders are called, but it is obviously meant to be a "Male" setting and a "Female" setting. Gender is decided on Tutorial Island when first setting player appearance, but the player's gender may be later changed by visiting the Make over mage south-west of Falador and paying them 3,000 coins.

In game differences based on the Gender setting:

• Male players can have beards while female players cannot (without packet manipulation).

• Only female players can wear Plate Mail Tops.

• Male characters have a longer shirt compared to female characters, who are instead given large breasts and a more revealing shirt.

• Twenty-eight lines of dialogue have their pronouns adjusted based on the Gender setting. However, there are at least ten instances where the programmers forgot to adjust them:
  • The gnome bankers always refer to the player as "sir".
  • Grandpa Jack always refers to the player as "young man".
  • Brother Kojo refers to the player as "sir" when thanking them for accepting the Clock tower quest, regardless of gender.
  • Glough always says "take him away", "this man is a human spy", and "lock him up" back-to-back.
  • Almera always says "are you busy young man?, i have a problem" and then "would you kind sir?" when you agree to help with her problem.
  • Jeremy Servil always says "Please sir, don't hurt me" upon first meeting the player.
  • Trufitus always says "Gracious sir, it means 'friend'", when asked what Bwana means.

Both male and female players can wear Plate Mail Bodies, Plated Skirts, Plate Mail Legs and Chain Mail Bodies with no visual difference.
