"If you want to be the best, baby, you've got to work harder than anybody else."
—Sammy Davis Jr., my grandad tellin' it how it is
How you doin', everybody? My name is Sammy Davis Jr, III. It's true, too! And I look just like my grandad. I'm cool like him too. Why, everyone I meet thinks I'm the coolest guy they know. That's why they call me Awesome Black Guy. Not saying I'm the coolest, but hey, I'm up there.
What you should know about me:
- Famous Ancestor: None other than the legendary Sammy Davis II, baby!

TV announcer: "And now for a brief message from our sponsor!"
Hello, I'm here to tell you about a revolutionary new product called Khum Dhan. What exactly is Khum Dhan? Khum Dhan is an ancient Indian herbal and well-being tonic. Reformulated and tested for safety by NASA astronauts. I think it's safe to say: there's never been a better to to get Khum Dhan!
Greetings, my fellow Tropers, and random website visitors. You have reached the contributor page of TV Tropes' Awesome Black Guy. I thank you for taking the time to read about me. Who am I, you ask?
As a writer:
Well, I like to think of myself as somewhat of a writer. Professionally, as my true calling, though only as a hobby for now. I write both about what I love as well as my own original content. I have an epic sage to be called Tales of Malvynnia which has been in the works since I was at least 12 years old, where I gave backstories to the custom LEGO minifigures I built.As a Troper
My purpose here on the wiki is to chronicle and give legacy to my most cherished works and creators. Some, I want to help make famous. Others, I felt were not famous enough.The names I use:
The ABG handle itself was formed on a whim after I had exhausted so many other possible name combinations as my handle for This Wiki. The Sammy Davis Jr., Jr., character was also created on a whim. Elsewhere on The Internet, I am known on YouTube, Twitter, Tumblr and Facebook as Faca Lamina. Though on other wikia, including The Other Wiki, and DeviantART I am known as LightsaberGuy.

Tropes relating to my online persona:
- Author Avatar: I've had several. My very first was young Palpatine Expy, aka LightsaberGuy. My second, and my current/in process fursona, Faca Lamina.
- Fanboy: Currently and foremost of Alfred Alfer and the works of Emily Youcis. Then of Steven Universe and One-Punch Man, less often but occasionally Rick and Morty, Star vs the Forces of Evil, and Gravity Falls. Formerly of Bronyism, Chris Jericho, and Ruby Quest. On and off of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and its Fandom derivatives.
- Fan Fic: Alfred in the Graveyard, a fanfic of Alfred's Playhouse, and Living Lies, and upcoming Friendship is Magic fanfic featuring my Original Character Tinny.
- Furry Fandom: A new member of the community. My fursona is a grey wolf with silver/dark gray mottled fur with maroon eyes—a signifying mark of intelligence and insight within his clan. An artist rendering is in the works.
- Interactive Fiction: At one time a big fan, especially of Ruby Quest and The Weaver. A minor member of tgchan, also, where I am known as LightsaberGuy.

- Void Between the Worlds: A theme in my upcoming works. The Interstice, borrowed the (Cr)Applejack Ask a Pony tumblr, is the metaphysical void surrounding and inbetween the creative imaginations of sentient beings, in which the worlds therein appear to be true physical. These worlds tie together between connected "cosmic giants" and branch off from higher level beings.
