In my experience, pre-arranged RP only works well when one or both characters are mostly unformed, or if two concepts just happen to mesh really well (which is more random than "pre-planned" imo).
But it can work, and I have had several that did work very well.
I've had many more that didn't work out at all, for various reason s(sometimes OOC, sometimes IC). But I've also had many started-as-random relationships that also never got off the ground. So YMMV.
