New Ascendency Suggestions

One of the things that differentiates Path of Exile from other online games, are the Ascendancies. Unfortunately, they feel very focused, to the point of "if you aren't playing one to the max, then you may as well not bother."

So, I wanted to propose NEW Ascendency classes. One for each class, based on a theme of some kind that didn't pigeon hole the player into a particular playstyle (but allowed some freedom).

So, here are my suggestions for new Ascendancies....
