Neohaidouks / Romanian RLSH - Flacau' & Zimbrul

The haidouks (hajduks, haiduci) were sort of like Robin Hood in Romania (and in the Balkans). Sometimes thieves or outlaws, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, but other times they just rebelled against the corrupt government and done good deeds their own way. So it's only fitting for a band of RLSH (real-life super heroes) of romanian descent to name themselves Neohaidouks.

Flacau' can roughly translate to something like "Lad" or "Young Guy" and Zimbrul is "The Bison". Well, technically, a zimbru is an european bison, also know as a wisent.
