I am Dr. Finklestein, Town Doctor.
NOT evil doctor mind you.. just regular old townie doctor. I'm sorry that I've botched this all up and somehow managed to fling myself in to the limelight on Day 1. I definitely have a lot to learn about how to play this game in the forums.
ok so the role fits.... a little from wikipedia
Doctor Finklestein is a resident of Halloween Town, the wheelchair-bound mad scientist and the "father" of Sally. He is a pale-as-a-sheet mad scientist with a duckbill-like mouth and a hinged skullcap that he can open up to reveal his brain. For unknown reasons he uses a motorized wheelchair (early drawings of Finklestein depict him standing freely, and his original action figure followed this example, implying he was not always intended to be a wheelchair user). Finklestein is only referred to as the 'Evil Scientist' in the credits. His true name is only mentioned in the movie when the Mayor calls him up to the front of the line for his Christmas assignment.
Doctor Finklestein lives in a large observatory with his living ragdoll creation, Sally,[16] and his hunchbacked assistant Igor. James Whale's Frankenstein is quoted in Finklestein's line "I made you with my own hands", which is ironic as Finklestein's body appears to be largely if not entirely artificial. Unlike Frankenstein, who takes no responsibility for his creations and disowns them almost as soon as they are completed (much like the original Dr. Frankenstein), Finklestein takes full responsibility over Sally and acts as an over-protective father, and in some ways an overbearing husband (thus explaining Sally's attempts to run away) by keeping her under lock and key under the pretext of sheltering her from the world. In addition to being an overbearing and antagonistic father figure for Sally to overcome, Finklestein also has a hand in helping Jack Skellington (of whom he seems to be very fond) with his plan to take over Christmas by bringing to life several skeletal reindeer to pull Jack's sleigh. At the end of the film, Finklestein, deciding that Sally is too much of a handful, creates a wife for himself using a portion of his own brain.
given that review I'd put him at town and Doctor makes sense as well... what i watched of the movie fits with this also.
