How to make a sitefinity master page without ASP.NET?

The company I am working for has a sitefinity. They want me to create custom pages from scratch for them. I have never used sitefinity, so upon research It appears that I want to create a template via .master. Then once built, I would add to my CMS and access it for use.

Is there a way to make these .master templates other than ASP.NET? ( which I have no experience with)

Essentially all am am wanting to do is create a custom page out of html,css, and jquery and then make a 'template' out of it.

You dont have to use a .master page to create a template in Sitefinity. It's nice to have that level of control but it's not necessary at all. Just go to Design > Page Templates in the Sitefinity backend section /Sitefinity

There are several built in templates you can edit from that page. You can use one of those templates, create a new template from scratch, or create a template based on any one of the templates you see there.

Once you pick a template, you can edit the Layout to add columns and global content or custom CSS. This is what the page templates section looks like

Not really, if you want control over the markup then you'll have to use a .master page but the good news is that it really is just mostly html and css / js references. Sitefinity has a sample template here but you may want to look at their Visual Studio plugin called Thunder to register a template. It will add in a default master page as well as the default folder structure for the theme, video on that here.
