and lightning can sort of have an explosive affect :pokerface: FTFY 
Lightning makes things explode because it heats the liquids inside, turning them into gases--the rapid expansion blows apart the container, you can see this effect with trees hit by lightning. So it would be possible for lightning to knock people around by causing something near them to explode, and the force of that blast may move them, but it's also really likely the shrapnel from that explosion would injure them.
If the lightning doesn't make a person explode or short circuit their nervous system then it's not going to really move them, although it's possible that a muscle spasm could jerk them around a bit if the lightning doesn't kill them outright.
![[Image: tumblr_lopyvzPT4X1qileo4.png]](https://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lopyvzPT4X1qileo4.png) you googled that didn't you? and its an airship so its probably got some gunpowder/oil on it.
You wot?

RE: Application - squiggley1 (now with splosions'!)
Actually no, I just remember the basics of my physics and chemistry classes.
Lightning wouldn't make oil explode, it'd just superheat it, which would cause the easily excitable components of oil to evaporate, leaving anything else behind--basically it's not oil anymore.
Compressed gunpowder would be rather destructive if struck by lightning though. In fact, depending on the amount of compressed gunpowder and the size of the ship, everyone else on it may have died in the explosion and possible resulting crash.

Because at the end of his general background he still hadn't met anyone in Kiwike.

That's never stated in the background, just that he's thrown overboard, and that's it.

How can someone who was knocked into see unconcious knows what happened to the ship >.> plus I wrote this really quickly and saw no reason to go into detail.

I responded with how the background ends.
You agreed with that, and then tacked on another bit of information, like it was something else I should already know.
You see my confusion yes?

At least tell me if you're going to stop using this thread before going on to make a new one.
Locked.
