You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 52.91.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:26, 2 September 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Sigil''''' is an [[America|American]] [[comic book]] [[ongoing series|series]] published by [[CrossGen|Cross Gen Entertainment]] from July [[2000 in comics|2000]] to December [[2003 in comics|2003]], ending at [[Issue (comics)|issue]] forty-two. ''Sigil'' was one of the publisher's first four [[Title (property)|titles]] (the others being ''[[Mystic (comics)|Mystic]]'', ''[[Scion (comics)|Scion]]'', and ''[[Meridian (comics)|Meridian]]''), originally created by [[Mark Alessi]] and Gina M. Villa. The book is one of many from the publisher that took place in the [[Sigilverse]], or the Cross Generation [[universe]].

In 2011, ''Sigil'' was part of [[Marvel Comics]]' relaunch of the Cross Generation Universe.

==Setting==
((Section stub|date=August 2023))
The bulk of ''Sigil'' takes place on and around the worlds of the ''Planetary Union'', a group of five human-inhabited planets: ''Gaia'' (believed to be humanity's home world), ''Brejhur'', ''Delassia'', ''Kayseecay'', and ''Victor''. Humans had also [[Space colonization|colonized]] the neutral world of ''Tanipal'', which [[Secession|seceded]] from the Union sometime before the start of the series. Tanipal is ruled by the Sultan Ronolo.

As the series opens, the Planetary Union has been at war with the ''Saurians'', a starfaring race of [[reptilian humanoids]], for several centuries. The extent of the Saurian empire is unknown, but it is known that the planet of Tcharun serves as its centre of power.

==Plot synopsis==
Samandahl "Sam" Rey was a former soldier for the Planetary Union. He and his good friend Roiya Sintor were laid off from the army due to cutbacks and became mercenaries. The pair were "vacationing" in the pleasure world of Tanipal when the series begins. While on Tanipal, Sam and Roiya meet the beautiful Zanniati Oribatta and her bodyguard, an orange-eyed man named JeMerik Meer, joining their team permanently.

During that initial meeting, a Saurian assassin squad arrived looking for Sam who had previously made an enemy of Tchlusarud, the youngest Saurian prince, who now desperately wants him dead. In the ensuing fight, Sam was tackled by an odd Saurian with glowing orange eyes. That Saurian said to Sam, "You shall find them, gather them, and lead them" before branding him with a swirling red and yellow mark: the [[Seal (emblem)|sigil]]. After which the saurian then disappeared. While Sam was distracted, one of the attacking Saurians impaled Roiya with his weapon, fatally injuring her.

The four retreated to Sam's ship, ''The Bitterluck'', where they failed to save Roiya's life. In a fit of rage, Sam activated his sigil, destroying a large part of the city in the process.

==Relaunch==
((Section stub|date=August 2023))
''Sigil'' was relaunched by Marvel Comics in March 2011 with an entirely different storyline. Now starring Samantha Rey, a 16-year-old South Carolina girl who awakens one day to find herself branded with a strange symbol, she finds herself thrust into a war across time.
