A variant is exactly what it is. A variant. Rare, Superior, and New could also be considered 'variants', but better than a 'simple' Variant. Variants have extra traits beyond that of the normal race. Rares have traits that don't come up often, Superior being, well, superior.

Extinct means that the race was extinct before it was resurrected. So to make it easy to understand, if Opushii had not been born with any blessings, she would have just been an Apostle Lord and not a Variant. New species is also like Extinct in this regard, I suppose.
