[LFP] Shadowrun 5e, text-based, street level, seeking 1-3 players!

Hey everyone! My friend is starting up a text-based Shadowrun 5e game, and we’re looking for 1-3 more players. Our games will be on Wednesdays starting at 4:30 PST, and we’d like to have session 0 on Wednesday, Friday 28th. We’ll use Roll20 for in-character RP, dice rolls, and maps, and Discord for voice chat. The game will be Street Level, which means we’re at the bottom of the societal barrel. Set in the Redmond Barrens outside the Seattle sprawl, you live alongside gangers, petty drug dealers, and other rampant crime. Maybe you work for or owe one of the big criminal organizations, like the Triad, Yakuza, Syndicate, or Vory. Shadowrun is a rough world, and you’re at the very bottom, desperately trying to claw your way up by any means necessary. Contact me if you’re interested!
You say you're using discord for voice, but the title says text-based. Could you elaborate on that?

So all of our in-character roleplaying will be text, but we can use the voice chat for table talk, rules questions, etc.
Text based for official actions, then Discord for chatter?
It’s more like how RP happens in an MMO, character’s emote their actions. Voice chat is for saying like “okay can I shoot that guy from here?” or “So i’m gonna try to Hack on the Fly to get marks on that guy”
*dodges behind the pile of boxes and spins up his deck*  or *enables the fly by wire system he paid so dearly for and gets the jump on the troll bodyguard*  that sort of thing?
Similar, but Roll20 has a /e function. Let me hunt down an example of an RP exchange in one of our past games. GM: The loud footsteps pass you by. As they go, you hear one of them, a woman, say something in another language. Swedish, maybe? German? Eddie struggles to try and pick out a word or two. GM: The woman was giving an order. You don't quite make out the words, but you know you heard something that sounded like "start" and "testa". During that exchange, the players asked in voice or OOC chat if any of them spoke german. One of them rolled the dice to see if they could understand, and they only rolled high enough to get a few words.
