who is sptnyk?
hi i'm arthur, arti for short. i'm known online as sptnyk (pronounced "sputnik"), or satellitei am humbly 21 years old and from australia (new shit wales). i'm also jewish but i'm mostly secular :)i'm studying astronomy and computer science (cybersecurity, networking, and programming!). i'm also a laptop hardware technician and furry artist on the side (commission info coming soon!)i like video game, music, linux, thinkpads, space, and a whole lot of other stuffi have a mental illness called OSDD (other specified dissociative disorder). it's like DID but i don't meet the full criteria. see here for more info!
my OSDD makes your experiences with me vary a lot. my sense of identity is fluid and inconsistent, so my opinions and feelings towards things may fluctuatei'm fairly asocial, and am a bit awkward and weird due to being autistic. i'm also really passionate about things i'm into, and am known to talk nonstop about something i know a lot about. if i get too much please let me know!i like linux, pc repair (laptops specifically), astronomy, retro consoles, psychology etc.i'm an admin in the rain world discord server and it's pretty neat. that's probably how you got here (unless you're here from my art scene, then hi!)"what's that furry thing with the star tail?" that's wie. he's my fursona. don't ask what he is. he's just a little guy
names:
satellitesati (pronounced "sat-ee", sometimes people put an e on the end)arthursptnyk/suputnyk
pronouns & terminology:
he/him (system-wide)
they/them (preferably plural only)
alters, partsi sometimes use "we/us" on myself, but you can refer to me as plural or singularan alter may use she/her instead of he/him, but you can use either when referring to themplease avoid using terms like "sysmates, headmates" etc.
before you interact:
i will take my time to respond to DMs etc. due to having a low social battery. please don't pester me for a response unless it's urgenti struggle with remembering pronouns and will often default to "they" out of habit. please let me know if this bothers you! (note: i cannot use neopronouns because it's genuinely impossible for me to remember, sorry!!)questions regarding OSDD/DID are welcome, although i ask that you avoid asking me about whether you have it or not. that's not something i can decide!i don't associate with the plural/system community due to differing beliefs and opinions, and i ask you to avoid bringing it up around me, however i don't care what kind of system you are - plurality is an incredibly complex topic that's well out of my depth, and fakeclaiming helps no one
why do you type like that?
you're probably here because you're wondering what that symbol in my message means (or why i'm using "we" instead of "me")i have a mental illness called OSDD that affects my interactions with people, and the way i perceive the world around me. basically, my identity is split into multiple (like DID, but i don't meet the full criteria).
i won't talk about it in depth, but if you have any questions you are welcome to ask!i choose to be open about my OSDD online because keeping such a large aspect of my identity hidden is exhausting (especially while being in therapy)
i keep my other mental health issues private, however!
i occasionally use symbols at the start of my message to indicate which alter is speaking, and to help me keep track of who said what. i like to track who's fronting, and the indicators help out a toni use "we/us" on myself a lot because it's a comfort thing! you can refer to me with plural or singular pronounssome of my alters consider themselves more fem-leaning, you may refer to them using "she" if you wish. do note however that we are a guy and generally use he/him pronouns (they is okay too!)

voted most hated alter 2024hey. i'm mina. i say "nnaa" a lot. it's a stim :p
yes my fursona is a combination of nanachi and midna. they're my comfort characters ok
i also project like 90% of my identity onto them lmaoi have a hard time trusting people so i might act blunt and abrasive. i tend to care about myself more than others. i can't help my behaviour sometimes due to a lot of it being a trauma response :ci like skateboarding and stuff. big fan of console gaming, not too big on pc games (i look at our steam library and weep)

My name is short for "Ionna"
I'm the only alter in this system that speaks with proper punctuation. I may or may not use it in conversation, but it really depends on how I'm feeling!I have a love for astronomy and literature. I spend a lot of my free time reading or looking at the stars with my telescope (Skywatcher 150P). I'm currently reading Children of Dune (by Frank Herbert) and Cosmos (by Carl Sagan)
Please do share any space facts with me, I'd love to hear them!!I love Outer Wilds. please talk to me about it (please please please please plea-)
I also really like Zeroranger :>I try to be as approachable as possible, but I might come off as a little overbearing or excited, sorry!! ;;My fursona is an OC of mine called Lunaria! I'm currently working on my own fursona

i don't front for very long due to personal reasons, if i am around please treat me gently. i am very soft spoken and shy, and i may retreat if i feel threatened.i am probably the oldest alter in the system, and a representation of us from when we were very young. my interests reflect those from when we were little, such as childhood cartoons, movies, and retro video games.i have aged alongside the rest of us. i am not a child, please do not treat me like one.i also really enjoy the dark fantasy aesthetic. my comfort films are "angel's egg" and "the last unicorn".i try to be kind to everyone around me. all i ask is for you to be kind back <3
