Want to start doing some sort of physical activity for fun and mental health but it's like. Ok. What's cheap, doesn't require hand-eye coordination, isn't competitive, works for people who cannot remove their glasses, doesn't need much balance, and doesn't require very much outdoor space to do? Not very much, it seems.

What kind of sports would the child units like to play?
OKAY THIS IS THE ONE THAT GOT DELETED YESTERDAY LET’S TRY IT AGAIN
Neutral:
Kana - Kana doesn’t really care much for playing sports. They’d much rather just watch. Unless you’re talking about REAL sports like Duck Duck Dragon or Hide and Go Seek, in which case, they are the uncontested best at sports like those!
Midori - She doesn’t really care much for sports either, she’s much more into sports medicine! Although she currently holds the archery record! She much prefers to follow people around and tend to their wounds, especially people who always get injured *cough* SOPHIE SHIRO SOLEIL *cough* Speaking of which...
Sophie - Sophie is really good at, well, horseback riding! No one in Hoshido rides horses, and Forrest just isn’t much of a challenge in that regard. Siegbert, while competent, isn’t much of a challenge either. So she does cross country! She loves running and she’s got great stamina. She also does gymnastics! She’s really flexible and good at most events! She is also a certain reckless knucklehead’s coach in boxing, which is where most of her injuries come from.  
Dwyer - Dwyer doesn’t play sports. He’s just there to bring tea to people post-match and to give them advice to do better. It’s too much work for him. With that being said, half the reason is that he’s just too good at every sport. Tennis, basketball, soccer, judo, diving, aikido, he’s just good at everything. He wants to give the others a chance. So he sticks to darts.
Shigure - I mean, is it any surprise he does swimming? He loves the water so much, not to mention his singing gives him ridiculous tidal volume and breath control, he’s practically a master of the water. His diving isn’t that good, and his speed isn’t the best, but his mastery of his body and flow in water is the toppest of notches. 
Hoshido
Shiro - One boxing boy, coming right up! Shiro is the resident boxing buff and buff boxer of the army. He loves it. He doesn’t have the best defenses though, and he’s stiff as a board, which is where Sophie comes in! She’s his trainer, helping him master his range of motion and get better at defending! She’s got a mean left hook! Midori patches them both up, scolding them about being more careful.“If you’re more flexible, Shiro, you can do all sorts of neat punches! Why, I bet you could dislocate your shoulder to extend the range of your punch! Like...Zoom! A Zoom Punch!”“Sophie, please don’t tell him to do that.”
Kiragi - With his eagle eyes, there’s only one kind of sport for him...Hide and Seek with Kana! Oh and he’s the best skeet shooter. Moving targets are kind of his specialty. 
Asugi - Rock climbing! He’s really agile and dexterous, so rock climbing is a bit of a no-brainer for him. He’d much rather be doing anything else, but he might as well mix in his ninja training with a sport if he has to do a sport, so he doesn’t mind too much. He’ll kinda get up there really fast and just sit on top of the wall, eating candy until everyone else gets up. “What took ya so long?”
Mitama - She plays soccer! She doesn’t like exercising too much, she’d much rather be doing...basically anything else. So she’ll set up shop in the goal and wait for the ball to come her way and effortlessly block it. She’s never let a goal go by, and she uses the rest of her free time just to write haiku about the fresh open air and smell of grass, waiting for the next ball to come her way.
Hisame - Is it any surprise that Hisame does kendo? An ancient Hoshidan sport of swordplay, he is nearly unrivaled. He goes in and just sweeps up every tournament. His footwork is unparalleled, but his real edge is that he’ll just think of his enemies like pickles, in need of dicing and slicing.
Caeldori - She, much like Dwyer, excels at basically every sport. She headlines as the army’s best diver, and people love watching her incredible form, but her real passion is actually karate! She’s pretty much unmatched, taking out most challengers without a scratch on her! She wears a mask though so people don’t know it’s her! She fought in an MMA tournament once and won the whole thing, beating Shiro in the final round! He actually managed to get a few good hits in, but she knocked him out in one clean hit. It’s why he’s in defense training right now!
Selkie - She does decathlons! She’s really good at the long jump especially! Not beacuse she can jump overly far (even though she totally can) but more because she’s able to gather up so much speed compared to the distance she starts out with! She’s got it on lock!
Rhajat - She dances competitively. But she doesn’t tell anyone. She just says she doesn’t play sports. But she does lyrical, tap, ballet, breakdancing, waltz, even cheer and Hoshidan ribbon dancing. The only people who know are Azura and Laslow, who she’s asked to coach them. Oh and Hayato. She never told him, but he’s known ever since she was little that she had a passion for dancing. He slips charms into whatever dance shoes she wears that day. They’re not for cheating or anything, they just help her get over her crippling stage fright. He’s secretly there cheering her on all the time.
Nohr
Siegbert - Siegbert is the worst best golfer you’ll ever meet. He’s incredible with his drives, often just getting holes in one. But his putting is atrocious. Either he sinks it in one from a hundred yards away, or he struggles to putt from 2 feet away for 300 strokes. Eventually, he decided if he doesn’t get a hole in one, to just knock it away another 100 yards and try from there. He also plays jai alai, and tchoukball!
Forrest - Field hockey! He loves the fresh smell of grass and the battle on the field, but he’s a bit of a clean freak. Thanks to Midori though, he has a new potion that removes all grass stains, so he can really get down and dirty. He’s a surprisingly strong player.
Soleil - She fences! She just hoped that it would make her a better dancer by forcing her to improve her footwork but it doesn’t translate out of the match sadly. With that said, she’s a MONSTER in the arena. She footwork and swordplay are only matched by how much fun she’s having! She loves the thrill of the fight, and win or lose, she’s always got a smile in the end. Every opponent ends up her friend somehow. Also, whenever she takes off her helmet, she does that stereotypical post-helmet-removal-slow-motion hair flip that you see in cartoons. People swoon. She has a fan-club~
Ophelia - She plays tennis! And she’s really good at it! She names all her “attacks” too. “Dead Man’s Volley!” “Die Die Tennis Barrage!” “Shooting Star Arrow!”  She lives for long rallies on deuces, and relishes in the victory of her advantage if she gets one.
Nina - She’s a sports journalist! She goes around writing reports on sports, although she does get a bit lost in her thoughts at times. She doesn’t play very often, simply because she enjoys other forms of athletic activity, but she never lets on what she means...She LARPs. But she will kill anyone who finds out. She also bowls a pretty mean game, 300s left and right.
Percy- Percy plays basketball! He lacks the jump height to dunk considering his size, and his lay-ups are okay, 50/50. But they call him the Full Court Miracle. Any shot beyond the three point line just...lands clean. He’s got so much raw talent, but he still practices! He’s good at stealing the ball too~
Velouria - She wrestles! Her pins and grapples are pretty top-notch! She grew up play-wrestling with her dad all the time, and so he would show her how to actually wrestle when she got bigger, to help catch prey. Eventually she took it on competitively, and won multiple awards!
Ignatius - Ignatius plays American Football! He might be cowardly and he hates getting hurt, but he hates seeing his friends get hurt even more. He plays center, and he’s a regular Ryokan Kurita, that boy. Always protecting his QB no matter what. He’s strong enough to hold the line by himself if need be.

15 mutuals, 15 questions
I’ve been tagged by @smileyonthewall​ so let’s get this show on the road.
Are you named after anyone? Nope. Hell my parent’s only knew what they wanted to name me not long before I was born.
When was the last time you cried? About 2 months ago. When I was in a really really dark place mentally and emotionally speaking.
Do you have any kids? Nope. Want kids in the future though. But that would require me to first fall in love with someone who loves me back. which is a struggle on it’s own seeing how I almost never truly develop feelings for someone.Hell so far I’ve actually and fully/truly fallen in love 3 times in my life. Add to the fact that even if I manage it, the relationship will never last since research has shown that people like me have a hard/near impossible time to find/keep/maintain romantic relationships and the chance for me to ever have kids in the future becomes real small. Plus everywhere on the internet I read stories about how bad it was dating autistic people and so far I've met 3 people who dating an autistic person and hated it. One even going so far to proclaim to never date autistic people again.
So do I have kids? No. Do I want them? Yes. Will I ever have a chance at kids?Zero is a chance right?
Do you use sarcasm a lot? I think I use it more than average. To be fair, both my parents and my little brother can be quite sarcastic so I’ve kinda grew up in a sarcastic/smart mouthed house.
What’s the first thing you notice about people? I think their face? That or their clothes or the entire person at once.
Eye color? Blue. A very bright/light colour of blue considering my darker hair colour.
Scary movie or happy ending? Both? Both. Both is good.
Any special talent? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Nope. I got nothing worthwhile talent or skill wise to speak of. I got nothing to speak of. I thought I could sing but that was a huge forking mistake. All the poetry and song lyrics I wrote are pure trash when looking back at them. Nope I got nothing special to make me of any use/value/make me equal/measure up to the normal people.
Where were you born? In a hospital in the South-Eastern province of The Netherlands, by  Cesarean section 4 weeks to early with a growth deficiency of 8 weeks Although some definitions define a  Cesarean section to not being a birth so by that definition I was never “born” at all.
Hobbies? Singing, reading, watching series, watching anime, violin, guitar, Historical European Martial Arts, Dungeons and Dragons, Magic the Gathering, gaming, hanging out with friends/roommates.
Do you have any pets? Nope. My mom has a cat. Does that count? When I live on my own I’ll probably get a cat though.
What sports do you/have played? I have played many a sport in my time. Judo, Karate, Horseback riding, Jujitsu, Gymnastics, Historical European Martial Arts. At the moment I’m not really doing any sports. Unless you count the weekly swimming I do with smileyonthewall​ and my roommates
How tall are you? 1,75-1,76 meters depending on which document you use.
Favorite subject in school? I didn’t have a single favorite subject. I liked Dutch(sucked at the grammar though XD), English, Biology, Physics, Music, Chemistry(even though I liked it I never managed to be quite good at it no matter how much/hard I studied. Guess I just lacked the right chemistry XD)
Dream job? It used to be doctor or  paediatrician. Then it became of scientific researcher/laboratory worker. Nowadays it’s a toss up between laboratory worker or teacher. Although I’m scared to try cause I’m pretty sure I’d suck at teaching. Welp that was it. Unless @smileyonthewall tags me for some more questions.
Time for my own tagging. I hereby Tag: @eprillios
