Dim Walker
'Dim Walker' is the name given to those that intentionally venture into the alternate dimensional plane known as The Dim.
Purposefully entering the Dim is forbidden and illegal in most jurisdictions, the threat of... whatever it is that lurks inside too great to risk any potential benefits. Of course, where some see illegality, others see opportunity.
The Dim mutates and corrupts anything that enters, but that comes with the chance that modified objects may take on helpful new properties. Additionally, time and space work differently within, with persistent "tears" - portals into The Dim - allowing rapid transit in and out of places that might not normally be accessible. For many, the danger of corruption, attack by the strange beings within, and the threat of prison time, are outweighed by the economic windfall.
There is no standard Dim Walker uniform: life support gear and fully sealed armor are highly recommended, although make and model are users choice. Because of the corruptive influence of The Dim, repeated exposure warps the armor and equipment, often in ghoulish ways. Walkers may continue to use the gear, for both cost reasons and its frightening appearance, as long as they maintain structural integrity. There's also a lucrative resale market for the mutated helmets and weapons.
