Acceptable More-Than Average Attributes
And the requirements of them.
We want BeauxBatons to be unique. So, we are allowing that certain people get certain abilities. This is an entirely first come, first serve basis.
Please understand that all of these require that you must be in your third year or higher (if a student) or in your third year of teaching (if a professor), unless stated otherwise. Those who have requested to become a More-Than-Average student and have not become one fully will have (Pending) by their name.
You must request in your character's profile and via PM to Diamond_Wales or Vampire Toy. Should you be denied for any reason, you must remove the request from your student's profile.
